Question

Oliver and Layla each built a rectangular prism with centimeter cubes. Both prisms have a volume of 24 cubic centimeters but they do not look the same. Give possible dimensions for each prism.

Answer 1

Possible Dimensions of one prism are; 2cm, 3 cm and 4cm

Possible Dimensions of second prism are; 1 cm, 4 cm, 6 cm

How to find the dimensions of a rectangular Prism?

We are told that volume of both rectangular prisms is; V = 24 cm³

Now, formula for Volume of a rectangular prism is;

V = lwh

where;

l is length

w is width

h is height

Thus, to solve this, we have to look for multiples of 24 which are;

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.

Now, we must pick 3 numbers from the above in which their products will be equal to 24.

Thus;

Possible Dimensions of one prism are; 2cm, 3 cm and 4cm

Possible Dimensions of second prism are; 1 cm, 4 cm, 6 cm
