The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is
A= 2(wl+hl+hw)
We are given the height =2cm, width= 5cm, and length= 10cm. All you have to do is plug this info in!
A= 2(wl+hl+hw)
= 2[(5)(10)+(2)(10)+(2)(5)]
= 2(50+20+10)
= 2(80)
=160 cm squared
Hope this helps!! :)
The lengths of sides of a triangle have to satisfy the triangle inequality, which states that the sum of the two shorter sides must exceed the length of the third side.
Here 9+8=17 (not greater), so these segments do not form a triangle.
It should be the first answer choice between those two
