Calculate the volume and surface areas of both rectangular prisms for each option.

A:

Rectangular Prism #1
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(8)(5)(6)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2((8)(5)+(6)(5)+(6)(8))
\sf A=236~ft^2

Rectangular Prism #2
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(5)(6)(8)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2((5)(6)+(8)(6)+(8)(5))
\sf A=236~ft^2

This is incorrect, they have the same volume of 240 cubic feet and the same surface areas.

B:

Rectangular Prism #1
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(8)(5)(6)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((8)(5)+(6)(5)+(6)(8))
\sf A=236~ft^2

Rectangular Prism #2
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(10)(8)(3)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((10)(8)+(3)(8)+(3)(10))
\sf A=268~ft^2

\boxed{\sf Correct~Answer}: Both have the same volume of 240 cubic feet, but different surface areas.

C:

Rectangular Prism #1
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(15)(8)(2)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((15)(8)+(2)(8)+(2)(15))
\sf A=332~ft^2

Rectangular Prism #2
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(6)(4)(15)=360~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((6)(4)+(15)(4)+(15)(6))
\sf A=348~ft^2

This is incorrect, they have different surface areas, but only Rectangle #1 has a volume of 240 cubic feet.

D:

Rectangular Prism #1
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(12)(6)(5)=360~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((12)(6)+(5)(6)+(5)(12))
\sf A=324~ft^2

Rectangular Prism #2
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(8)(10)(3)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((8)(10)+(3)(10)+(3)(8))
\sf A=268~ft^2

This is incorrect, they both have different surface areas but only Rectangle #2 has a volume of 240 cubic feet.

The answer would be 48 because....
 
First, you would multiply 80 and .40 (changed the percentage to decimal) which is 32

Then, subtract 80 and 32 to get 48
