a rectanglar prism has a volume of 48 cubic feet and a surface area of ** square feet. What are its dimensions?
I assume that ** = 88
l * w = 48, so l = 48/w
2l + 2w = 88
Substitute 48/w for l in second equation and solve for w. Insert that value into the first equation and solve for l. Check by inserting both values into the second equation.
To find the dimensions of a rectangular prism with a given volume and surface area, we can use the following formulas:
Volume of a rectangular prism: V = l * w * h
Surface area of a rectangular prism: S = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given:
Volume (V) = 48 cubic feet
Surface area (S) = ** square feet
Since only the surface area is given as "** square feet," we will focus on that information. In order to proceed, please provide the actual value of the surface area.
