what is the volume and surface area of the rectangular prism 5in 1in 3.5in
The volume of the rectangular prism can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 5in x 1in x 3.5in
Volume = 17.5 cubic inches
The surface area of the rectangular prism is calculated by adding the areas of each face.
Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Surface area = 2(5in x 1in) + 2(5in x 3.5in) + 2(1in x 3.5in)
Surface area = 10in^2 + 35in^2 + 7in^2
Surface area = 52 square inches
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 17.5 cubic inches and the surface area is 52 square inches.
