Fill in the blank. A right prism with a base perimeter of 8 units, a height of 3 units, and a total base area of 22 square units has a surface area of ______ square units.
----------------------
Find the dimensions of the base::
2L + 2W = 8
L*W = 22
-----
L+W = 4 ; L*W = 22
L(4-L) = 22
L^2 - 4L +22 = 0
L = no solution
