Chapter 12.4, Problem 4PSA

To determine

To calculate: The volume and total surface area of rectangular box.

Answer to Problem 4PSA

The volume is $300$ and total surface area is $280$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

l = 6,

w = 5,

h = 10.

Formula used:

Volume of rectangle $=l\times w\times h$

l = length of rectangle, w = width of rectangle and h = height of rectangle.

Calculation:

  

l = 6,

w = 5,

h = 10.

Volume of rectangle $=l\times w\times h$

Volume of rectangle $=6\times 5\times 10$

Volume of rectangle $=300$

Area of rectangle 1 $=6\times 10=60$

Area of rectangle 2 $=5\times 10=50$

Area of rectangle 3 $=6\times 5=35$

Total Area = 2(Area of rectangle 1) + 2(Area of rectangle 2) + 2(Area of rectangle 3)

Total Area $=\left(2\times 60\right)+\left(2\times 50\right)+\left(2\times 35\right)$

Total Area $=120+100+70$

Total Area $=290$
