The length of all edges of a rectangular parallelepiped is 96 cm, its 2 dimensions are 7 cm and 12 cm.

The length of all edges of a rectangular parallelepiped is 96 cm, its 2 dimensions are 7 cm and 12 cm. Find the third dimension.

The length of all edges of a parallelepiped is determined by the formula:

L = 4a + 4b + 4c. Provided that it is 96 cm, and its two measurements are 7 and 12 cm, we determine the value of the unknown side by composing the equation:

4a + 4 * 7 + 4 * 12 = 96,

4a + 28 + 48 = 96. Leave the variable on the left side, and transfer the numbers to the right, changing the sign in front of them to the opposite:

4a = 96 – 28 – 48 = 20,

a = 20: 4 = 5.

Hence the third side = 5 cm.
