Answer 2

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2b+ph. just plug in the values and calculate.

Answer 3

I think the answer is C , am I correct? I got C because I did this...10*6*4=240

Answer 4

That would be the volume, we are looking for the surface area. Did you see the formula i presented you?

Answer 5

Is the formula 2b+ph ? cause I don't know what that is...I have never seen that before.

Answer 6

Yes, that is the formula. (2 * base area) + (perimeter * height)

Answer 7

The formula is Surface Area = 2 (lwl+hl+hw)

Answer 8

So the base area would be 6?

Answer 9

that is lw not lwl

Answer 10

No, the base area would be 6*10.

Answer 11

6*10=60

Answer 12

There are calculators you could use, for this questions. But S.A. = L.A. + 2B, so multiply perimeter times height, plus the base. :)

Answer 13

And that's the base area. So 2(60) + perimeter * height.

Answer 14

Is the answer A cause I think it's A , Am I correct?

Answer 15

@rainbow_rocks03 here is the formula: A=2(wl+hl+hw)

Answer 16

No it would not be A. And @Famous5 that is not the only formula.

Answer 17

ALL OF YALL ARE CONFUSING ME.

Answer 18

That is the easiest formula I know

Answer 19

I have never seen those formulas

Answer 20

Well it is not the one we are currently using.

Answer 21

What grade are you in rainbow_rocks03?

Answer 22

because my formula is for 6th grade because I am only 6th grade

Answer 23

6th grade is the grade that I am in

Answer 24

ok I am giving you a hint of what is the answer
Hint: the answer is the greatest number

Answer 25

my answer is D

Answer 26

correct

Answer 27

How is my answer 248 I want an explanation

Answer 28

No direct answer it is against code violation

Answer 29

@Famous5 HOW IS MY ANSWER 248

Answer 30

Im in 9th grade, and I gave you a formula that I remember from 8th grade. Its may seem hard but in reality it is much easier than what ever they taught you. The Surface Area of a solid is the sum of all of its surfaces. Maybe if you make a net of the prism it will be easier for you :)
