To determine how many different rectangular prisms can be made using 4 unit cubes, we can consider the possible dimensions that multiply to 4. The combinations of dimensions (length, width, height) are (1, 1, 4), (1, 2, 2), and (2, 1, 2). Since the order of dimensions matters, we need to account for permutations, resulting in three unique rectangular prisms: one with dimensions 1x1x4, and one with dimensions 1x2x2 (which accounts for two arrangements). Therefore, there are a total of 3 different rectangular prisms.
Given the surface area of a rectangular prism, there are infinitely many rectangular prisms possible.
Cubes have a square on each side, but rectangular prisms have rectangles or squares.
To find the number of rectangular prisms that can be formed with 8 unit cubes, we need to consider the dimensions of the prisms (length, width, and height) such that their product equals 8. The possible sets of dimensions are (1, 1, 8), (1, 2, 4), and (2, 2, 2). When accounting for different arrangements of these dimensions, there are a total of 6 distinct rectangular prisms: (1, 1, 8), (1, 2, 4), (2, 1, 4), (2, 2, 2), and their permutations.
To determine how many rectangular prisms can be made with 50 cubes, we need to find combinations of dimensions (l), (w), and (h) such that (l \times w \times h = 50). The possible sets of dimensions must be positive integers and can include various factor combinations of 50. After listing all factor combinations, we can identify the distinct rectangular prisms that can be formed, accounting for different arrangements of the same dimensions. The total number of unique rectangular prisms that can be formed will depend on the unique sets of factors of 50.

To determine how many different rectangular prisms can be made with 24 cubes, we need to find the sets of positive integer dimensions ( (l, w, h) ) such that ( l \times w \times h = 24 ). The factors of 24 are ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, ) and ( 24 ). By considering all combinations of these factors while accounting for the order of dimensions, we find there are 10 unique rectangular prisms.
They are all rectangular prisms!
In exercises 3-4, the rectangular prisms demonstrate a specific relationship in their dimensions, such as having the same volume or surface area. A different rectangular prism can maintain this relationship by adjusting its dimensions proportionally. For example, if one prism has dimensions of 2 cm, 3 cm, and 4 cm (volume of 24 cm³), another prism could have dimensions of 3 cm, 2 cm, and 4 cm, also resulting in the same volume but in a different configuration. This illustrates that various combinations of dimensions can yield the same volumetric relationship.
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
Given any rectangular prism, there are infinitely many other rectangular prisms with exactly the same surface area.
