that image looks really daunting haha but they want us to find the surface area of the bottom rectangular prism |dw:1614720046460:dw|

AZ:

(also, may I add, I absolutely enjoyed the title to your post)

AZ:

Anyway, in a normal rectangular prism or just call it a box like you know the boxes that you get when order stuff online? The formula for surface area is A=2(wl + hl + hw) the w stands for width the l stands for length and the h stands for height

so the three numbers are 21, 18 and 3 if we put them into our formula SA = 2( (21*18) + (3*18) + (3*21) ) so one at a time what is 21 times 18 =

TETSXPREME:

378

AZ:

Good now we have SA = 2( 378 + (3*18) + (3*21) ) what is 3 times 18

TETSXPREME:

34?

snowflake0531:

eek

AZ:

did you mean to type something else?

TETSXPREME:

no

AZ:

18 + 18 is 36 which is way more than 34 18 * 3 is the same thing as 18 + 18 + 18

TETSXPREME:

54

TETSXPREME:

mb idk what i was thinking

AZ:

okay good and now 3 * 21 =

TETSXPREME:

63

AZ:

so now we have Surface area = 2(378 + 54 + 63) What is 378 + 54 + 63 =

TETSXPREME:

495

AZ:

so now we have Surface area = 2(495) which is the same thing as 2 times 495 which is ... your final answer :D

TETSXPREME:

990? o;

AZ:

you did it ;o

AZ:

but like, next time I'm going to make you do more than just using a calculator you have to learn how to do this stuff haha

TETSXPREME:

alright im a smarty o;
