The frequency for this problem would me x2 every time you add on to the chart or go down the chart good luck:)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
There is a typo in the question, the lengths of the sides of the prism are:
24 cm
9 cm
17 cm
(otherwise, if all sides were 9 cm, it would be a cube, not a prism)
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by:

where:
l is the length of the prism
w is the width of the prism
h is the height prism
In this problem,
(length)
(width)
(height)
Therefore, the volume of the prism is:

1.
area = L x w = 72
L = 2w
72 = 2w*w = 2w^2
divide by 2
36 = w^2
w = sqrt(36) = 6
l = 2*6 =12
perimeter = 2L +2W = 2*12 + 2*6 = 24+12 = 36
2.
sqrt(40)= 6.324555 cm ( round to 6.32 )
6.32 - 4 = 2.32 cm original length of a side
