OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

well first what do you believe it is, to start you off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the top

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

well to figure this out i believe you can multiply both prisms and see which area or volume is larger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

come on im 9 just please give me the answer i willmedal and fan

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

thats step 1

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

sorry i cant do that

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

but i will help you to understand it :}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I keep thinking its a

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

well like i said erlier...to figure this out i believe you can multiply both prisms and see which area or volume is larger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@some.random.cool.kid , Dont waste your time. This is a lazy nine year old who just wants the answer. Let him figure it out on his own!!

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

be right back someone needs me real quick

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fine no help me please ill listen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ryguy717 leave

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@some.random.cool.kid please ill listen

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Giving direct answers is actually violating rules, and does no good. Good job @ryguy717

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dtan5457 and @ryguy717 just go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks @dtan5457, All these nice people like yourself on here to help, and kids just want the answer.

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

lol great cjob rguy yet im the one who said it lol

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

lol, unless you want explanations, you might as well leave this site. it's violating the rules for users to give direct answers. seriously, don't you want to know how to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not from you though

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Haha, I think I give perfectly fine help, but then again, you want answers, which won't happen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

somebody help

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

This question is so simple that you refuse to think over it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both = 60

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

would you like to show your work, what does 60 refer to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x5x6=60 and 3x4x5=60

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Ok, is that for volume or surface area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Volume or surface area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it volume then right

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yep, so the answer can't be C or D

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

now just find the surface area for both figures

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

what did you get for the surface areas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A i got 12 and b i got 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b is the answer

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then a

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

\[2(l \times w)+(l \times h)+(w \times h)\]

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

For A w=2 l=6 h=5

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

How could that equal 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean 60

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

No...your plugging them wrong. try again.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

60 is the volume...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oohh

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

plug them in carefully and tell me what you get
