I rectangular prism with a square base has a high of 7 inches the base of the prism can be completely covered with no overlap by 16 squares that each have a edge length of 1 inch what is the total surface area of the rectangular prism

144 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface area of the rectangular prism =  Sum of all the area of its sides

Since it has a square base which can be covered by 16 squares of length 1 inch each, then;

length of its base = 4 inches

So that,

i. Area of its base =

                          =

area of its base = 16 square inches

ii. Area of one of the surfaces of its sides = length x width (or base x height)

                                       = 4 x 7

                                       = 28 square inches

Sum of the area of its vertical sides = 4 x 28

                                        = 112 square inches

Thus,

Total surface area of the prism = 16 + 16 + 112

                                          = 144 square inches

answer: b.48 for

step-by-step explanation:

m∠5 + m∠3 = m∠1   is true.

m∠5 + m∠6 = 180 is true

m∠2 +m∠3 = m∠6   is true

m∠2 +m∠3 +m∠5 = 180   is true
