Question

Find the total area for the prism.

Answer 1

Is there a picture that came along with it?

Answer 2

yes hold on

Answer 3

there, and it's only asking for the total area of the prism that's all

Answer 4

Volume is calculated from: length x width x height

Since a cube has all equal sides (since it is consisted of all square faces) the length, width, and height are all the same.

Answer 5

Area is calculated from: length x width

Answer 6

144 sq in .? (:

Answer 7

Pretend that I am a student and you are the teacher. Tell me what you will do to approach the problem.

Answer 8

@itsamray How did you get 144 sq in?

Answer 9

Okay. I will let go of this explanation. You are correct for finding the area of the cube. Now you find the volume.

Answer 10

@calculusxy you told him to do length*width and that is what he did the length is 12 and the width is 12. 12*12 = 144

Answer 11

yeah that's what i did, 12*12

Answer 12

Good. Now find the volume. What would that be?

Answer 13

Did you find the volume?

Answer 14

are you still there @itsamray?

Answer 15

is this the right formula for total area of a prism, T.A = ph +2B

Answer 16

@Help_PLEASE_18

Answer 17

Yes it is

Answer 18

We know that a cube has six faces that are all squares. We also know that the area of one face of the square is already 144 sq in. Now you have to multiply 144 among the squares.

Answer 19

T = 2B + Ph

Answer 20

Hey @itsamray you have to work with us on this we can't just be doing this by ourselves and we can't just give you the answer.
