Question

The surface area of rectangular prism is 48 ft.². The area of its front is 4 ft.², and the area of one side is 10 ft.². What is the area of the top of the prism?

Answer 1

The area of the top of the rectangular prism is 34 ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the top of the rectangular prism, we need to subtract the areas of the front and one side from the total surface area. Given that the area of the front is 4 ft² and the area of one side is 10 ft², we can subtract these values from the total surface area to find the area of the top:

Total surface area = 48 ft²

Area of front = 4 ft²

Area of one side = 10 ft²

Area of top = Total surface area - Area of front - Area of one side

Area of top = 48 ft² - 4 ft² - 10 ft²

Area of top = 34 ft²

Answer 2

I think the answer is 20.
