You are drawing a net that shows a rectangular prism with an area of 52 square feet. If two of the rectangles in the net are 4 ft.×3 ft., what is the value of the third measurement you need to know to have an area of 52 square feet?
Since the rectangular prism has an area of 52 square feet and two of the rectangles in the net are 4 ft. × 3 ft., we can find the third measurement by dividing the total area by the product of the two known measurements:
52 sq. ft. ÷ (4 ft. × 3 ft.) = 4.33 ft.
Therefore, the third measurement you need to know to have an area of 52 square feet is approximately 4.33 feet.
