- What is
? Explain it.
Combine y and 3y to get 4y.
Add 0 and 24 to get 24.
Divide both sides by 4.
Divide 24 by 4 to get 6.
Answer:
3,216 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking the surface area of a rectangular prism with the given dimension. That area is the sum of the areas of the 6 faces of the prism. Since opposite faces have the same area, we only need to compute 3 areas, then double the sum of those:
S = 2(LW +LH +WH)
This can be made a little easier to compute by some factoring:
S = 2(LW +H(L +W))
It does not matter which dimensions are designated length (L), width (W), or height (H).
__
S = 2((24 cm)(54 cm) +(4 cm)(24 cm +54 cm))
= 2(1296 +4(78)) cm² = 2(1608) cm²
S = 3216 cm²
The surface area of Emma's rectangular box is 3216 square centimeters.
1 x 2 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
3 x 2 = 6
4 x 2 = 8
5 x 2 = 10
6 x 2 = 12
7 x 2 = 14
8 x 2 = 16
9 x 2 = 18
10 x 2 = 20
