Formula for surface area on a rectangular prism: \n" ); document.write( "2lh+2wh+2lw=600 \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 2 \n" ); document.write( "lh+wh+lw=300 \n" ); document.write( "First, try to find it if all are the same, in other words, it's a cube: \n" ); document.write( "3l^2=300 \n" ); document.write( "l^2=100 \n" ); document.write( "l=10 \n" ); document.write( "If all the sides are 10 long, the surface area will be 600 \n" ); document.write( "If l is 10 and w is 5, what will h be? \n" ); document.write( "10h+5h+50=300 \n" ); document.write( "15h=250 \n" ); document.write( "h=16.666666 \n" ); document.write( "If one side is 10, one is 5, and the other is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
