Find the height. I believe thats how you solve it.
The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!
its not i dont no why
Volume = (length) times (width) x (height)
There must be a typo in this question, "Why does the formula for finding the surface area of arectangular prism is helpful?" What does that even mean?
This formula is used to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism.
It is the difference if the heights, above some arbitrary level, of the top and bottom of the prism.
The formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2(wh + lw + lh), where w is width, h is height, and l is length. 3.14 is the value for pi, which is only used for circular objects, like circles, cylinders, and spheres. It has nothing to do with rectangular prisms. Click on the related link below for an illustration of the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism.
bwh base times width times hight
It is helpful because when you do the problem you know what to do.
The base of a prism is always rectangular, so the area, A, =lw. l is length, w is width, of the base.
The base of a rectangular prism is just an old familiar 2D rectangle. All the old familiar 2D formulas for rectangles still apply to it.
