Question

Find the width of the rectangular prism which has Surface area of 10 CM2, length of 2cm and height of 1 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

width is 1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The SA of a rectangular prism is SA = 2(lw + wh + hl)

We are given the length, the height, and the SA, and we need to find the width. So we plug in the known values into this equation:

10 = 2(2w + w + 1*2)

10 = 2(3w+2)

10 = 6w+4

6=6w

w=1

We can check the answer by plugging in all the values into the equation:

10 = 2(2*1+1*1+1*2)

10 = 2(5)

10 = 10
