Question

A rectangular box is 32 cm wide and 36 cm high. If the surface area of the box is 4344 square​ centimeters, find the length of the box.

Answer 1

To find the surface area, multiply length x width x height.

let "length" = l

l x 32 x 36 = 4344

Simplify

l x (32 x 36) = 4344

l x 1152 = 4344

Isolate the length. Divide 1152 from both sides

(l x 1152)/1152 = (4344)/1152

l = 4344/1152

l = 3.77 (rounded)

3.77 cm is your length.

hope this helps
