Answer:
The height is 28.57 cm.
The surface area is 9,628 cm^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume the cooler is shaped like a rectangular prism with length and width of the base given, and with an unknown height.
volume = length * width * height
First, we convert the volume from liters to cubic centimeters.
60 liters * 1000 mL/L * 1 cm^3/mL = 60,000 cm^3
Now we substitute every dimension we have in the formula and solve for height, h.
60,000 cm^3 = 60 cm * 35 cm * h
60,000 cm^3 = 2,100 cm^2 * h
h = (60,000 cm^3)/(2,100 cm^2)
h = 28.57 cm
The height is 28.57 cm.
Now we calculate the internal surface area.
total surface area = area of the bases + area of the 4 sides
SA = 2 * 60 cm * 35 cm + (60 cm + 35 cm + 60 cm + 35 cm) * 28.57 cm
SA = 9,628 cm^2
The surface area is 9,628 cm^2.
