Answer 1

If the Volume for the cube is 1000, then L is the cube root of that or L=10

Answer 2

so that slant length for the parallelpiped shape is L+2 or 12

Answer 3

The front face is a parallelogram, you can find the area of that, them extrude it into 3 space by L to make the volume

Answer 4

okaaaaayyy,well what would you have put,because i tried 1,200 and got it wrong

Answer 5

and it's a online test so..

Answer 6

or even easier, you can just use the area of the base, which is the same L by L or 100, then extrude that by L + 2 or 12

Answer 7

so the volume is 10 * 10 * 12

Answer 8

Thanks
