@jabez177 last question. :) then bedtime :D

jabez177 · Answer

Basically calculate the surface area of both of the prisms then calculate the volume of both of them and compare.

gabbyalicorn · Answer

can you tell me what the surface area is again, please. :3

jabez177 · Answer

Lol. I don't know. :P Let me google it.

gabbyalicorn · Answer

okay.

Thanks.

jabez177 · Answer

No problem! :)

jabez177 · Answer

I can't watch that because I still have my Semester assessment to do. I'm working on it right now...

gabbyalicorn · Answer

Oh, i'm so sorry to disturb you. :( I will try my best to do this from what you have given me, i really appreciate your help, so much.

jabez177 · Answer

Sure! You're not disturbing me though. I love helping people! :)

gabbyalicorn · Answer

Okay. :)

jabez177 · Answer

What's the formula? Maybe I can try and help.

gabbyalicorn · Answer

Hope this kind of helps, i took a screenshot of the link you gave me.

jabez177 · Answer

OKAY! Got it!

gabbyalicorn · Answer

okay, i already finished the surface area for the second rectangle (yes i started with the second one) i dont know if it is right beacause the B is kind of messing me up but yeah|dw:1433397479093:dw|

gabbyalicorn · Answer

while your looking at that ill do the first long and slend rectangle

gabbyalicorn · Answer

@jabez177

jabez177 · Answer

She multiplied it by 2 because there are two pares of the same squares or rectangles.

gabbyalicorn · Answer

right that were the same on the other sides but B is just making it harder

gabbyalicorn · Answer

|dw:1433397865916:dw|

gabbyalicorn · Answer

Yeah, i don't know if i did this right.

omg my brains are fried

gabbyalicorn · Answer

@pooja195

agl202 · Answer

figure the surface area and volumes for each figure; then compare.

gabbyalicorn · Answer

when comparing do we subtract? or divide for this type of problem. and also so we add the surface area and volume up for each rectangle then subtract?

agl202 · Answer

the volumes are equal so its a toss between a and b.
i get 112 for A and 104 for B

agl202 · Answer

A is bigger then B in surface area

agl202 · Answer

So what do u think?

gabbyalicorn · Answer

B?

gabbyalicorn · Answer

B seems like what you are describing

agl202 · Answer

Yes, Good Job! :D

gabbyalicorn · Answer

Thank you! So much! I really do hope your answer is correct, i am so tired and my brain is so exausted that i cannot even think. Thanks again! :)

agl202 · Answer

K, tell me what u get!

gabbyalicorn · Answer

Well, I literary just got the results  back and it was C The surface area of A is greater than the surface area of B. But, ya know what thank you for trying :)
