Given a rectangular parallelepiped with measurements 24 cm, 6 cm and 35 cm
Given a rectangular parallelepiped with measurements 24 cm, 6 cm and 35 cm Find: a) the sum of the lengths of all edges; b) the total surface area; c) volume.
Let’s start at the end:
а) The volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is determined by multiplying its height, length and depth:
6 * 24 * 35 = 5040 cm3;
a) Based on the fact that all parallel sides of the parallelepiped are equal in size, and there are only 12 edges in 3 dimensions, then the sum of the lengths of all edges is found by summing each dimension multiplied by 4 or the sum of all dimensions multiplied by 4:
6 * 4 + 24 * 4 + 35 * 4 = 4 * (6 + 24 + 35) = 4 * 65 = 260 cm;
b) The area of the full surface of a rectangular parallelepiped consists of the sum of the areas of all faces, which in turn are rectangles. The area of any rectangle is equal to the product of its two adjacent sides. There are 6 faces in total, each face has a “pair”, that is, we have only 3 pairs of rectangles with different sides. So the area is equal to the sum of all different-sized faces, multiplied by 2:
2 * (6 * 24 + 35 * 6 + 24 * 35) = 2 * (144 + 210 + 840) = 2 * 1 194 = 2 388 cm2.
