If a rectangular prism has a length of 10 in, width of 5 in, and height of 4 in, what is its surface area?

Back

Surface Area = 2(10*5 + 10*4 + 5*4) = 2(50 + 40 + 20) = 2(110) = 220 in².

What is the surface area of a rectangular prism with dimensions 3 ft (length), 4 ft (width), and 5 ft (height)?

Back

Surface Area = 2(3*4 + 3*5 + 4*5) = 2(12 + 15 + 20) = 2(47) = 94 ft².

How do you round the surface area to the nearest square foot?

Back

Look at the decimal part: if it's 0.5 or higher, round up; if it's less than 0.5, round down.

Front

What is the surface area of a rectangular prism with dimensions 2 ft (length), 3 ft (width), and 6 ft (height)?

Back

Surface Area = 2(2*3 + 2*6 + 3*6) = 2(6 + 12 + 18) = 2(36) = 72 ft².

What is the surface area of a cube with a side length of 4 in?

Back

Surface Area = 6 * (side length)² = 6 * (4)² = 6 * 16 = 96 in².

How does increasing the height of a rectangular prism affect its surface area?

Back

Increasing the height increases the surface area, as it adds more area to the top and bottom faces and the side faces.

What is the surface area of a rectangular prism with dimensions 1 m (length), 2 m (width), and 3 m (height)?

Back

Surface Area = 2(1*2 + 1*3 + 2*3) = 2(2 + 3 + 6) = 2(11) = 22 m².
