The height of the rectangular parallelepiped is 18cm. It is equal to the difference between the length

The height of the rectangular parallelepiped is 18cm. It is equal to the difference between the length and width of the parallelepiped, and the length is 4 times the width. Find the area of the side faces.

Let’s denote the width of the box as x. Then the length will be 4 * x, and their difference will be 18 cm. Let’s make an equation.

4 * x – x = 18 cm.

3 * x = 18 cm.

x = 3 cm.

The width is exactly 3 cm, we find the length.

a = 3 cm * 4 = 12 cm.

Find the area of the side faces of the rectangular parallelepiped.

S = 2 * (18 cm * 3 cm + 18 cm * 12 cm) = 2 * (54 cm² + 216 cm²) = 540 cm².

Answer: the area of the side faces is 540 cm².
