Question

QuestionFor a rectangular solid with length 16 meters, height 20 meters, and width 15 meters, find the a. volume and b. surfacearea.

Answer 1

We will proceed as follows:

*The volume of a rectangular solid is given by the expression:

`V=l\cdot h\cdot w`

Therefore, it's volume will be:

`V=(16)(20)(15)\Rightarrow V=4800`

So, it's volume equals 4800 cm^3.

*The surface area of a rectangular solid is given by the expression:

`A=2(wl+hl+hw)`

So, its surface area will be:

`A=2((15)(16)+(20)(16)+(20)(15))\Rightarrow A=1720`

Therefore, its surface area equals 1720 cm^2.
