Question

A rectangular solid has sides of 10 cm, 6.5 cm, and 8.3 cm. What is its volume and surface area? Volume (to the nearest tenth) = cm3 Surface area (to the nearest tenth) = cm2

Answer 1

Answer:

V = 539.5 cm³

SA = 403.9 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a rectangular prism:

V = lwh

The fomula of a surface area of a rectangular prism:

SA = 2(lw + lh + wh)

l - length

w - width

h - height

We have l = 10cm, w = 6.5cm and h = 8.3cm. Substitute:

V = (10)(6.5)(8.3) = 539.5 cm³

SA = 2[(10)(6.5) + (10)(8.3) + (6.5)(8.3)] = 2(65 + 83 + 53.95)

= 2(201.95) = 403.9 cm²
