You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.The length,width,and height of a rectangular solid are in the ratio of 3:2:1.
If the volume of the box is 48,what is the total surface area of the box?
:
let x = "the multiplier"
The three dimensions, then are; 3x by 2x by x
then the volume
3x * 2x * x = 48
6x^3 = 48
Divide both sides by 6
x^3 = 48/6
x^3 = 8
x = the cube root of 8 which is:
x = 2 the multiplier
Then the Dimensions are 6 by 4 by 2
:
find the surface area:
S.A. = 2(L*W) + 2(L*H) + 2(W*H)
S.A. = 2(6*4) + 2(6*2) + 2(4*2)
S.A. = 48 + 24 + 16
S.A. = 88 sq units

2.A cube whose volume is 1/8 cubic foot is placed on top of a cube whose volume is 1 cubic foot.
The two cubes are then placed on top of a third cube,whose volume is 8 cubic feet.
;
Find the length of the side of each cube, (the side is the cube root of the vol) = ft
: = 1 ft
: = 2 ft
What is the height,in inches, of the stacked cubes?
h = + 1 + 2 = 3 ft which is: 3(12) + 6 = 42 inches high
