Question

What is the value of the ratio of the surface area to the volume of the right prism?

A. 1.4
B. 1.07
C. 0.94
D. 0.7

Answer 1

Well, the formula for surface area of the prim is perimeter of the base * height + 2 * area of the base
And for volume, it is length * width * height
After finding the values, you can divide the surface area by the volume and ta-daa, you have your ratio. Hope this was helpful. :)

Answer 2

Surface Area: 2(wl + hl + hw)

w = width ; l = length ; h = height

w = 5 ; l = 6 ; h = 3

Plug them in: 2(5*6 + 3*6 + 3*5) = 126

So the surface area is 126.

Volume = lwh

Same values for the letters

6 * 5 * 3 = 90

The ratio is
`(126)/(90) = 1.4`
