There is a rectangular prism with a length of 12.5 in., a width of 11 in. and a height of 4 in. If you make a horizontal slice through it, what is the area of the exposed 2-dimensional shape? (show your work in numbers)

Answer 1

Answer: The required area of the exposed 2-dimensional shape would be 137.5 sq. inches.

Explanation:

Given, There is a rectangular prism with a length of 12.5 in., a width of 11 in. and a height of 4 in.

If we make a horizontal slice through it, then we will have two-dimensional figure called 'rectangle' with dimensions length by width as 12.5 in. by 11 in. [As per given]

Then, the area of the exposed 2-dimensional shape = Area of the reactngle

= Length x width

`=12.5\text{ in.}*11\text{ in.}\\\\=137.5\text{ in.}^2`

Hence, the required area of the exposed 2-dimensional shape would be 137.5 sq. inches.
