How do I find the surface area of a rectangular prism

Here you are the Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac

 (a, b, and c are the lengths of the 3 sides)

In words, the surface area of a rectangular prism is the area of the six rectangles that cover it. But we don't have to figure out all six because we know that the top and bottom are the same, the front and back are the same, and the left and right sides are the same.

The area of the top and bottom (side lengths a and c) = a*c. Since there are two of them, you get 2ac. The front and back have side lengths of b and c. The area of one of them is b*c, and there are two of them, so the surface area of those two is 2bc. The left and right side have side lengths of a and b, so the surface area of one of them is a*b. Again, there are two of them, so their combined surface area is 2ab.

Sara jumps off a diving board that is 6 feet above the surface of the water her height above the surface of the water h in feet
Flauer [41]
Well when she hits the water h=0 so

2t^2-t-6=0  factor

2t^2-4t+3t-6=0

2t(t-2)+3(t-2)=0

(2t+3)(t-2)=0, since t>0

t=2 seconds...

However it should be noted that h(t)=-2t^2+t+6 implies that

v(t)=dh/dt=-4t+1 and

a(t)=dv/dt=-4

Since this is a free fall equation, this would suggest that the acceleration due to gravity is -4, whether that is supposed to be -4ft/s^2 or -4m/s^2, it certainly is not on this planet! :D  If it is -4ft/s^2 it could be on the Moon or if it is -4m/s^2 it could be on Mars.
