Question 2
If you wanted to know how much water this rectangular prism could hold inside of it, which measurement would you use?(1 point)
1. To find the volume of the rectangular prism, you would use the formula V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the prism. In this case, the length is 4 cm, the width is 3 cm, and the height is 5 cm.
V = 4 cm x 3 cm x 5 cm = 60 cubic cm
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 60 cubic cm.
2. To find the surface area of the rectangular prism, you would use the formula SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the prism.
SA = 2(4 cm x 3 cm) + 2(4 cm x 5 cm) + 2(3 cm x 5 cm) = 24 cm^2 + 40 cm^2 + 30 cm^2 = 94 cm^2
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 94 cm^2.
If you wanted to know how much water this rectangular prism could hold inside of it, you would use the volume measurement. So, in this case, you would use the volume of 60 cubic cm to determine how much water the prism could hold.
