Math Problem Statement

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

Solution

The image contains two problems involving the volume and surface area of rectangular prisms. Let’s analyze and verify the calculations step-by-step.


Problem 1

Given Dimensions:

  • Length (LL) = 15 cm
  • Width (WW) = 3 cm
  • Height (HH) = 12 cm

Volume Calculation

Formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: V=L×W×HV = L \times W \times H

Substitute the given values: V=15×3×12=540cm3V = 15 \times 3 \times 12 = 540 \, \text{cm}^3 Volume: 540cm3540 \, \text{cm}^3

Surface Area Calculation

Formula for the surface area (SASA) of a rectangular prism: SA=2(LW+LH+WH)SA = 2(LW + LH + WH)

Substitute the given values: SA=2[(15×3)+(15×12)+(3×12)]SA = 2[(15 \times 3) + (15 \times 12) + (3 \times 12)] SA=2[45+180+36]SA = 2[45 + 180 + 36] SA=2×261=522cm2SA = 2 \times 261 = 522 \, \text{cm}^2 Surface Area: 522cm2522 \, \text{cm}^2


Problem 2

Given Dimensions:

  • Length (LL) = 9 m
  • Width (WW) = 14 m
  • Height (HH) = 6 m

Volume Calculation

Formula for the volume: V=L×W×HV = L \times W \times H

Substitute the given values: V=9×14×6=756m3V = 9 \times 14 \times 6 = 756 \, \text{m}^3 Volume: 756m3756 \, \text{m}^3

Surface Area Calculation

Formula for the surface area (SASA): SA=2(LW+LH+WH)SA = 2(LW + LH + WH)

Substitute the given values: SA=2[(9×14)+(9×6)+(14×6)]SA = 2[(9 \times 14) + (9 \times 6) + (14 \times 6)] SA=2[126+54+84]SA = 2[126 + 54 + 84] SA=2×264=528m2SA = 2 \times 264 = 528 \, \text{m}^2 Surface Area: 528m2528 \, \text{m}^2
