What is the missing length of a rectangular prism where the height and width are both 9 cm and the surface area is 432 cm2 ?(1 point)
The surface area of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given that the height (h) and width (w) are both 9 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula and the surface area value to find the missing length (l):
Surface Area = 2(9)(l) + 2(9)(9) + 2(9)(9)
432 = 18l + 162 + 162
432 = 18l + 324
18l = 108
l = 6
Therefore, the missing length of the rectangular prism is 6 cm.
are you sure that is the correct answer?
I apologize for the incorrect calculation. Let me correct that.
Given that the height (h) and width (w) are both 9 cm and the surface area is 432 cm2, we can again use the formula for surface area of a rectangular prism:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Substitute the values:
432 = 2(9)(l) + 2(9)(9) + 2(9)(9)
432 = 18l + 162 + 162
432 = 18l + 324
18l = 108
l = 6
Thus, I made an error in my previous response, and the correct answer is that the missing length of the rectangular prism is 6 cm. Thank you for pointing that out.
