2b+ph? @DaBest21
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[2(2x 3x+2x 5x+3x 5x)=62 x^2 \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or (L1*W1+L2*W2+L3*W3)*2

what do i do next?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so do 2x*3x to get one side then 2x*5x and 5x*3x
substitute these values into the formula for surface area
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for example lets say the dimensions were 5 7 and 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So 6x+10x+15x? thats what i got. im prolly wrong..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
youd do (5*7+5*8+8*7)*2

if the dimensions were 5 7 and 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so instead plug in 2x, 3x and 5x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
into (l*w+l*h+h*w)*2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which one is length and width?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
with 2x as l, 3x as w, and 5x as h
