A surface area and a volume are qualitatively different. If for some body the surface area and the volume are numerically equal in one unit of measurement, then in another unit of measurement they won't be the same. For example, a cube of 6 m x 6 m x 6 m cube has a a volume of 216 cubic meters, and an area of 216 square meters, but if you calculate volume and surface area in cubic centimeters, the volume is a number that is 100 times greater.

How can you find the base area of a rectangular prism if you know the volume and height?

Volume of a rectangular prism is equal to the base area x height. (V=BxH or Volume = Base Area * Height) To get the base area, simply divide the volume by the height. (B=V/H or Base Area = Volume / Height)


How do you solve surface area of a rectangular prisem?

Properties of a rectangular prism: * A rectangular prism has a total of 6 surfaces. * Because it is rectangular it will have 4 equal longer edges and 8 equal shorter edges, and so * It will have 4 rectangular faces and 2 square faces, therefore * Total surface area = 2 x square (end ) surface + 4 x rectangular (side) surfaces If we let x = shorter edges (breadth) & y = longer edges (length), and, as area = length x breadth, then * each end (a square surface) will have an area of x2 * each side (rectangular surface) will have an area of xy Thus: Total surface area of the rectangular prism = 2 x end area + 4 x side area = 2x2 + 4xy = 2x(x + 2y) Hope this nswers your question and explains how we arrive at the formula for calculating the total surface area of a rectangular prism.

How do you find the volume of a rectangular prism relates to the volume of a tringular prism if the two have the same lengthwidthand height?

If a rectangular prism and a triangular prism have the same length, width, and height, then their volumes are equal. This is because although the shapes are different, they both occupy the same amount of space if their dimensions are the same. The formula for calculating volume is length x width x height for both shapes, resulting in equal volumes.


What is the width of a rectangular prism that is 9 yards long and 8 yards high with a volume of 144?

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to length x width x height. Therefore, you have to choose the width so that the product of the three numbers is equal to the volume, i.e., equal to 144.


Does the rate of reaction equal surface area over volume?

No. There is no one single expression for the rate of a chemical reaction. It depends on many factors. It is true, however, that the greater the surface area, the greater would be the rate of reaction, but it isn't EQUAL to SA/Volume.


A solid rectangular block of metal 49cm by 44cm by 18cm is melted and formed into a solid sphere find the radius ofthe sphere?

To find the radius of the sphere, we need to know that the volume of the rectangular block is equal to the volume of the sphere. The volume of the rectangular block is 49 x 44 x 18 = 38,808 cm³. Equating this to the volume of a sphere (4/3πr³), we can solve for the radius which comes out to be approximately 22.18 cm.
