Optimal ??????????
What is optimal in this case ?????????
--------------------------------
You submitted your comments/questions . . .
#1. comment from student: That was the question, I guess they are asking to find the minimum surface area for
this right triangular prism. It said we can use any numbers we want for the side lengths
#2. comment from student: Do I need to know the volume for this?
--------------------------------
My response: In this forum, I used to respond on problems that are correctly formulated.
Sometimes I help students to improve their formulations, when I see the reasonable way to do it.
But not in this case, where I don't know what is the reasonable way.
The dominant principle is: it is the student who must and who is responsible to provide clear, accurate,
correct, reasonable (and so on . . . ) formulation.
