Volume Surface Area
1. Problem 3: Find the volume of the bottle crate, a rectangular prism with dimensions 90 cm (length), 60 cm (width), and 80 cm (height).
2. Volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:
$$\text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}$$
3. Substitute the given values:
$$\text{Volume} = 90 \times 60 \times 80$$
4. Calculate step-by-step:
$$90 \times 60 = 5400$$
$$5400 \times 80 = 432000$$
5. Therefore, the volume of the bottle crate is:
$$432000 \text{ cm}^3$$
6. Problem 4a: Calculate the volume of the pencil case, a triangular prism with triangular base sides 6 cm (base), 8 cm (height), and 10 cm (hypotenuse), and length 32 cm.
7. Volume of a triangular prism is:
$$\text{Volume} = \text{area of triangular base} \times \text{length}$$
8. Area of the triangular base is:
$$\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 8 = 24$$
9. Multiply by length:
$$24 \times 32 = 768$$
10. Volume of the pencil case is:
$$768 \text{ cm}^3$$
11. Problem 4b: Calculate the surface area of the pencil case.
12. Surface area of a triangular prism is:
$$\text{Surface Area} = \text{perimeter of triangular base} \times \text{length} + 2 \times \text{area of triangular base}$$
13. Perimeter of triangular base:
$$6 + 8 + 10 = 24$$
14. Calculate lateral surface area:
$$24 \times 32 = 768$$
15. Calculate total surface area:
$$768 + 2 \times 24 = 768 + 48 = 816$$
16. Therefore, the surface area of the pencil case is:
$$816 \text{ cm}^2$$
