1. To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you need to multiply the length, width, and height of the prism together.
Given the dimensions of the rectangular prism are:
Length = 5 inches
Width = 3.5 inches
Height = 1 inch
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 5in x 3.5in x 1in
Volume = 17.5 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 17.5 cubic inches.
2. To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, you need to calculate the area of each face of the prism and then add them together.
Given the dimensions of the rectangular prism are:
Length = 5 inches
Width = 3.5 inches
Height = 1 inch
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Surface Area = 2(5in)(3.5in) + 2(5in)(1in) + 2(3.5in)(1in)
Surface Area = 35in + 10in + 7in
Surface Area = 52 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 52 square inches.
