Math Problem Statement

Find the surface area (SA) and volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 11 mm (length), 4 mm (width), and 18 mm (height).

Solution

From the image, we are solving for the surface area (SA) and volume of a rectangular prism with the following dimensions:

  • Length l=11mml = 11 \, \text{mm}
  • Width w=4mmw = 4 \, \text{mm}
  • Height h=18mmh = 18 \, \text{mm}

1. Volume Formula:

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by: V=l×w×hV = l \times w \times h Substitute the values: V=11×4×18=792mm3V = 11 \times 4 \times 18 = 792 \, \text{mm}^3

So, the volume is: 792mm3\boxed{792 \, \text{mm}^3}


2. Surface Area (SA) Formula:

The surface area of a rectangular prism is given by: SA=2(lw+lh+wh)SA = 2(lw + lh + wh) Substitute the values: SA=2((11×4)+(11×18)+(4×18))SA = 2\big( (11 \times 4) + (11 \times 18) + (4 \times 18) \big) Calculate each term: 11×4=44,11×18=198,4×18=7211 \times 4 = 44, \quad 11 \times 18 = 198, \quad 4 \times 18 = 72 Add these: 44+198+72=31444 + 198 + 72 = 314 Multiply by 2: SA=2×314=628mm2SA = 2 \times 314 = 628 \, \text{mm}^2

So, the surface area is: 628mm2\boxed{628 \, \text{mm}^2}


Final Answer:

  • Volume: 792mm3\boxed{792 \, \text{mm}^3}
  • Surface Area: 628mm2\boxed{628 \, \text{mm}^2}
