The sum of the lengths of all the edges of a rectangular parallelepiped is 96, its two dimensions are 7cm and 12.

The sum of the lengths of all the edges of a rectangular parallelepiped is 96, its two dimensions are 7cm and 12. find the third dimension.

The sum of the lengths of all edges can be calculated using the formula:

L = a * 4 + b * 4 + c * 4 = 4 * (a + b + c).

From this dependence, we express one of the parties, and:

a + b + c = L / 4, a = L / 4 – b – c.

Thus, if b = 7, c = 12 cm, and L = 96 cm, we find a:

a = 96/4 – 7 – 12,

a = 24 – 7 – 12,

a = 5.

Answer: the third edge of the parallelepiped is 5 cm long.
