Answer:
1. Identify the problem: Packaging boxes use too much material and create waste
2. What are the equations for the volume and surface area of a cube and rectangular prism?
Volume of a cube: Vcube = L x L x L = L3
Surface area of a cube: SAcube = 6 x (L x L) = 6L2
Volume of a rectangular prism: VRP = L x W x H = LWH
Surface area of a rectangular prism: SARP = 2 x (L x W) + 2 x (L x H) + 2 x (W x H) = 2(LW + LH + WH)
3. What is the difference in surface area of the packages below? (Note that they have the same volume.)
SAcube = 6L2
= 6 (20 cm)2
= 2,400 cm2
SARP = 2(LW + LH + WH) = 2 (20cm x 10cm + 20cm x 40cm + 10cm x 40cm) = 2,800 cm2
SARP – SAcube = 2,800 cm2
– 2,400cm2
= 400 cm
