5 in 1 in 3.5
To find the volume of the rectangular prism, the formula is V = length x width x height.
Given:
Length (l) = 5 inches
Width (w) = 1 inch
Height (h) = 3.5 inches
Substitute the given values into the formula:
V = 5 inches x 1 inch x 3.5 inches
V = 5 x 1 x 3.5
V = 17.5 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 17.5 cubic inches.
To find the surface area of the rectangular prism, you need to find the area of all its faces and add them together.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh.
Given:
Length (l) = 5 inches
Width (w) = 1 inch
Height (h) = 3.5 inches
Substitute the given values into the formula:
SA = 2(5)(1) + 2(5)(3.5) + 2(1)(3.5)
SA = 10 + 35 + 7
SA = 52 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 52 square inches.
