Answer 1

These are the rectangular prisms that have a surface area greater than 140 square feet

6 feet by 5 feet by 4 feet

7 feet by 6 feet by 4 feet

8 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet

Explanation:

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is SA=2(wl+hl+hw)

All you have to do is go through all the options given to you to figure out which retangular prisms have a surface area greater than 140 square feet.

6 feet by 2 feet by 3 feet

SA = 2((2)(6)+(3)(6)+(3)(2))

SA = 2(12 + 18 + 6)

SA = 2(36)

SA = 72

6 feet by 5 feet by 4 feet

SA = 2((6)(5) + (4)(5) + (4)(6))

SA = 2(30 + 20 + 24)

SA = 2(74)

SA = 148

7 feet by 6 feet by 4 feet

SA = 2((7)(6) + (4)(6) + (4)(7))

SA = 2(42 + 24 + 28)

SA = 2(94)

SA = 188

8 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet

SA = 2((8)(3)+(7)(3)+(7)(8))

SA = 2(24 + 21 + 56)

SA = 2(101)

SA = 202

8 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet

SA = 2((8)(4)+(3)(4)+(3)(8))

SA = 2(32 + 12 + 24)

SA = 2(68)

SA = 136

Answer 2

2, 3, and 4

Explanation:

multiply the second number with the first number, the first number with the 3rd number, and multiply the 2nd number with the 3rd number. (Ima let u solve it so you can learn/understand the answer completely)
