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, we use the formula V = l x w x h.
V = 5 x 1 x 3.5
V = 17.5
2. To find the Surface Area of the rectangular prism, we find the area of each of the six sides and add them together.
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Surface Area = 2(5)(1) + 2(5)(3.5) + 2(1)(3.5)
Surface Area = 10 + 35 + 7
Surface Area = 52
If you wanted to know how much water this rectangular prism could hold inside of it, you would use the Volume measurement, which in this case is 17.5 cubic units.
this answer is volume trust
Thank you for pointing that out. Let me correct the responses:
1. To find the Volume of the rectangular prism, we use the formula V = l x w x h.
V = 5 x 1 x 3.5
V = 17.5 cubic units
2. To find the Surface Area of the rectangular prism, we find the area of each of the six sides and add them together.
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Surface Area = 2(5)(1) + 2(5)(3.5) + 2(1)(3.5)
Surface Area = 10 + 35 + 7
Surface Area = 52 square units
If you wanted to know how much water this rectangular prism could hold inside of it, you would use the Volume measurement, which in this case is 17.5 cubic units.
