1The surface area of a rectangular solid is 22 m2.
The lengths of two of the sides are 1 m and 3 m.
What is the length of the other side?
length =
Solution
Surface Area = 2Lw + 2Lh + 2wh
Pick h as the unknown (your choice doesn't matter)
22m2 = (2 × 1m × 3m) + (2 × 1m × h) + (2 × 3m × h)
22m2 = 6m2 + (2 m)h + (6 m)h
16m2 = (8 m)h
2m = h

2The volume of a rectangular solid is 2 yd3.
The length is 1 yd and the width is 1 yd. What is the height?
h =
Solution
V = Lwh
2yd3 = 1yd × 1yd × h
2yd2 = 1yd × h
2yd = h

Solution
Surface Area = 2Lw + 2Lh + 2wh
Pick h as the unknown (your choice doesn't matter)
52m2 = (2 × 4m × 3m) + (2 × 4m × h) + (2 × 3m × h)
52m2 = 24m2 + (8 m)h + (6 m)h
28m2 = (14 m)h
2m = h
