Answer:
Some examples are a cereal box, a CD case, or a coffee table. Measure your prism using appropriate units, such as inches, centimeters, or feet. ... If you are using a ruler with a centimeter (cm) scale, then your units are going to be in cm, and if you ... We have to do the same thing to volume like we did with the surface area.
:)
Answer:
Rectangular prism
I chose a box of cereal.
Part 1)List the dimensions of your box. Be sure to include the units (in, cm, ft, etc.).
Length: 20 cm
Width: 8 cm
Height: 32 cm
Part 2).
Describe the shape of the cross-section when the box is cut parallel to the base.
The shape of the cross-section would be a rectangle in dimensions.
20 cm x 8 cm
Part 3)
What is the surface area of the box?
surface area=2*area of the base + perimeter of the base*height
area of the base=20*8=160 cm²
perimeter of the base=2*[20+8]-----> 56 cm
height=32 cm
surface area=2*160+56*32------> 2,112 cm²
the answer part 3) is
2,112 cm²
Part 4)
What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10?
we know that
surface area of the larger box =[scale factor]²*surface area original box
scale factor=10
surface area original box=2,112 cm²
so
surface area of the larger box=10²*2,112-----> 211,200 cm²
the answer part 4) is
211,200 cm²
Part 5)
What is the volume of the box?
volume of the box = L*W*H 20*8*32-5,120 cm³
the answer Part 5) is
5,120 cm³
Part 6)
What is the volume of the box if it is scaled down by a factor of 1/10?
we know that
the volume of the smaller box =[scale factor]³volume original box
scale factor=1/10
volume original box=5,120 cm³
so
volume of the smaller box =[1/10]³*5,120 5.12 cm³
the answer part 6) is
5.12 cm³
The length is 6 in., the width is 2 in., and the height is 16 in.
