Surface Area = 2wL +2LH + 2Hw
and you have a length of 5, a width of 6, so your height is X
157.9 = (2)(6)(5) + 2(5)(x) + 2(x)(6)
Simplify, gather like terms and solve for x
then to find the volume sub your values into Volume = LWH
and you have a length of 5, a width of 6, so your height is X
157.9 = (2)(6)(5) + 2(5)(x) + 2(x)(6)
