Answer:
The prism
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a cube is:

where
L is the length of the side
For the cube in this problem,
L = 6 cm
So the surface area of the cube is

The surface area of a rectangular prism with squared base is:

where
L is the length of the base
h is the height of the prism
For the prism in this problem,
L = 3 cm
h = 12 cm
Therefore,

So, the prism has a greater surface area.
Answer:
Find below the calculations of the two areas, each with two methods. The results are:


Explanation:
<u>A) Method 1</u>
When you are not given the height, but you are given two sides and the included angle between the two sides, you can use this formula:

Where,
is the measure of the included angle.
1. <u>Upper triangle:</u>

2. <u>Lower triangle:</u>

<u></u>
<u>B) Method 2</u>
You can find the height of the triangle using trigonometric properties, and then use the very well known formula:

Use it for both triangles.
3. <u>Upper triangle:</u>
The trigonometric ratio that you can use is:

Notice the height is the opposite leg to the angle of 60º, and the side that measures 100 units is the hypotenuse of that right triangle. Then:


3. <u>Lower triangle:</u>

The answer is D because A and B mean the exact same thing and if A and B are graphed the result is C so the only logical answer left is D
