Question

What is the missing width of a rectangular prism with a length of 6 cm, a height of 4 cm, and a surface area of

Answer 1

The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula:

Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given that the length is 6 cm, the height is 4 cm, and the surface area is unknown, we can set up the equation as:

2(6)(w) + 2(6)(4) + 2(4)(w) = Surface Area

12w + 48 + 8w = Surface Area
20w + 48 = Surface Area

Since the surface area value is missing, we cannot calculate the exact missing width without knowing the value of the surface area.
