The rectangular prism below is made up of 6 rectangular faces, and the faces opposite to each other are have an equal area.
The area of one of the faces is lxh or lh, and the area of the face opposite to it is also equal, so the area of those two equal faces is 2lh.
The area of the base of the prism is lxw, and the area of its opposite face is equal, so the area of those two equal faces is 2lw.
The area of the face in the left side of the prism is wxh, and the area of the face opposite to it is also equal, so their combined area is 2wh.
So, to find the total surface area of a rectangular prism, we’d add the sum of all the rectangular faces, so the formula of finding the surface area of a rectangular prism=
2lh+2lw+2wh
=2(lh+lw+wh)
Given,
Surface area of the rectangular prism=288 cm^2
2(lh+lw+wh)=288
2[4h+(4x9)+9h)]=288
4h+(4x9)+9h=288/2
4h+(4x9)+9h=144
13h+36=144
13h=144-36
13h=108
h=108/13
h=8.308 cm
Hope this helps!

Is 26,341 divisible by 3?
shepuryov [24]

No.  26,341 is not evenly divisible by 3 .

Here's the trick you can use to decide this
just by looking at a big number:

==>               If a number is divisible by 3, then the
                     sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

I've never taken the trouble to figure out why this works,
but it does work.  I didn't make it up.  It's widely known.

So let's look at  26,341 .

The sum of the digits is  (2 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 1)  =  16 .

16  is not divisible by  3 , so  26,341  is not divisible by  3 .

Is that cool or what !

The sum of 444 consecutive integers is 326326326.<br> What is the second number in this sequence?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first figure out what the first number is and use that to solve for the next. The problem states that the numbers are consecutive. So the 2nd number word be 1 plus the first.

The sum of 4 consecutive numbers:

1st = x

2nd = x + 1

3rd = x + 2

4th = x + 3

The sum of 4 consecutive number is 326.

1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th = 326

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3)  = 326

Combine like terms:

4x + 6 = 326

Then we subtract 6 from both sides to isolate 4x:

4x + 6 - 6 = 326 - 6

4x = 320

Then we divide both sides by 4 to isolate x:

4x/4 = 320/4

x = 80

So the first number is 79

Now to get the second, let's just add 1.

80 + 1 = 81

Let's check if our answer would be correct:

80 + 81 + 82 + 83

= 326
