Arusha draws a rectangular prism that is made up of 2 connected cubes, each with side length e. The surface area of a certain rectangular prism with edge length e is represented by the formula SA = 10e (squared), and the volume of the prism is represented by the formula V = 2e (cubed).
A: What is the surface area of the prism if its edge length is 5 cm?
B: Arusha plans to build the prism and partially fill it with 150 cubic cm of sand. What fraction of the prism's volume will be filed by the sand?
the surface area of the prism if the edge lenght is 5 centimeters would be 2500 because we already know that 10 is the lenght of the prism so if the width is 5 then what you would have to do is 10*5 which is 50 and then you would do 50 to the 2nd power which equals 2500 and that is your answer :)
