What is the volume of a rectangular prism if the surface area is 34?
To find the volume of a rectangular prism when given the surface area, we need more information than just the surface area. The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height of the prism, respectively. Without knowing at least one of these dimensions, we cannot determine the volume of the prism.
Is the volume of a rectangular prism squared or cubed?
The volume is cubed and the surface area is squared.
How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different area?
Yes. A cube that is 2x2x2 has the same volume as a rectangular prism that is 1x2x4, which is 8. The surface area of the cube is 24 while the surface area of the rectangular prism is 28.
Describe the dimensions of a rectangular prism with a volume of 80 and a surface area of less than 132?
5x4x4 Volume=80 Surface Area=112
What is the smallest possible surface area of a right prism with a volume of 200 cm3?
Assuming you mean a rectangular prism, you get the smallest surface area if the prism is a cube. You can calculate the required length of side to get that volume; then, based on that, the corresponding surface area.
