Find the sum of the lengths of all edges of a rectangular parallelepiped, the surface area

Find the sum of the lengths of all edges of a rectangular parallelepiped, the surface area of this parallelepiped is 384 m2.

This is a cube, otherwise the problem will not be solved !!! The surface area of a parallelepiped is found by summing its 6 faces. All of them are equal in area.

Find the area of one face:

384/6 = 64.

The area of one face is obtained by the product of its sides, which are equal to each other. Hence, one side is equal to:

A = √64 = 8.

The number 8 is the edge of the parallelepiped. Their number is 12.

We find the total sum of the edges of the parallelepiped:

8 * 12 = 96.

Answer: the sum of all the edges of the parallelepiped is 96 m.
