Question

Samir is working on a project and has cut a number of wooden blocks of equal size that are represented by this right rectangular prism. He now needs to cover the wooden blocks on all sides with a blue fabric. How much fabric does Samir need in order to cover 5 of these blocks?

Answer 1

Without knowing the dimensions of the wooden blocks, it is impossible to calculate the exact amount of fabric needed to cover them.

However, we can make an estimate based on the surface area of one block and multiply that by 5. Assuming that all six faces of each wooden block are identical and that the blocks are rectangular prisms with dimensions of length L, width W, and height H, the surface area of one block is:

2(L x W) + 2(L x H) + 2(W x H)

Multiplying this by 5 (the number of blocks) gives:

5(2(L x W) + 2(L x H) + 2(W x H))

Simplifying this expression further requires knowing the specific values of L, W, and H.

Answer 2

60

Explanation:

1 1/2 x 2 x 4 = 12

12 x 5 = 60
