Question

HELP PLEASE!

A rectangular prism has a height of 4 meters, a surface area of 96 square meters, and a base area of 8 square meters. Calculate the perimeter of the base of the prism.

Answer 1

Okay, so let's see, A rectangular prism has a height of 4 meters, so I calculated and the base should be 26 meters, hope this helps

Answer 2

P = (S - 2B)/h

20 m

Explanation:

Given the equation for the surface area:

S = Ph + 2B

A.

Solving for P

S = Ph + 2B

Ph = S - 2B

P = (S - 2B)/h

B.

h = 4 m, S = 96 m², B = 8 m², P = ?

P = (96 - 2*8)/4 = (96 - 16)/4 = 80/4 = 20 m

hope this helps
