Answer:
Length=15 cm
Width=13 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
-Let x be the width dimension, the length will be (x-2)
-The area of a rectangle is given by the formula;

#We substitute the length and width values and equate to the given area:

#Rewrite as a quadratic and solve for x:

Since dimensions are always positve, the x value is 15
x=15
x=13
Hence, the dimensions of the rectangle are length=15 cm and width=13 cm
The surface area is given by:
S.A = 2 * (area of the top) + 2 * (area of the front) + 2 * (area of one side)
Substituting values we have:
S.A = 2 * (20) + 2 * (16) + 2 * (24)
S.A = 120 cm ^ 2
Answer:
The surface area of the rectangular prism is:
S.A = 120 cm ^ 2
It can be used to hold a prisoner for the police
Answer:
Im pretty sure its 114 m^2 sorry if im wrong
