Question

Joseph bought a fish tank shaped like a rectangular prism with the dimensions shown below. What is the area in square inches of the shaded top of the rectangular prism?

Answer 1

The surface area is 310 square inches

Explanation:

Given [Missing dimensions]

`L = 5in` -- Length

`W = 10in` -- Width

`H = 7in` -- Height

Required

Determine the surface area

The surface area (A) of a rectangular prism is:

`A = 2(LW + LH + HW)`

`A = 2*(5*10 + 5*7 + 7*10)`

`A = 310in^2`
