Math Problem Statement

Calculate the surface area and volume of two rectangular prisms with the given dimensions.

Solution

I see that you've uploaded an image. I'll analyze it and extract the mathematical content for explanation. One moment, please.The image contains two rectangular prisms with surface area (SA) and volume calculations.

Details:

  1. First Rectangular Prism:
    • Dimensions: 16 mm (length), 6 mm (width), and 5 mm (height).

    • Surface Area (SA) formula:
      SA=2(lw+lh+wh)SA = 2(lw + lh + wh) Substituting the dimensions: SA=2((16×6)+(16×5)+(6×5))SA = 2((16 \times 6) + (16 \times 5) + (6 \times 5)) SA=2(96+80+30)=2×206=412mm2SA = 2(96 + 80 + 30) = 2 \times 206 = 412 \, \text{mm}^2 (matches the calculation on the page).

    • Volume (V) formula: V=l×w×hV = l \times w \times h Substituting the dimensions: V=16×6×5=480mm3V = 16 \times 6 \times 5 = 480 \, \text{mm}^3


  1. Second Rectangular Prism:
    • Dimensions: 17 cm (length), 7 cm (width), and 2 cm (height).

    • Surface Area (SA) formula: SA=2(lw+lh+wh)SA = 2(lw + lh + wh) Substituting the dimensions: SA=2((17×7)+(17×2)+(7×2))SA = 2((17 \times 7) + (17 \times 2) + (7 \times 2)) SA=2(119+34+14)=2×167=334cm2SA = 2(119 + 34 + 14) = 2 \times 167 = 334 \, \text{cm}^2 (matches the calculation on the page).

    • Volume (V) formula: V=l×w×hV = l \times w \times h Substituting the dimensions: V=17×7×2=238cm3V = 17 \times 7 \times 2 = 238 \, \text{cm}^3
