The net of a rectangular prism is shown below. The surface area of each face is labeled. 12 sq. cm
24 sq. cm
18 sq. cm
24 sq. cm
18 sq. cm
12 sq. cm
Which values represent the dimensions, in centimeters, of the rectangular prism?

ok then what happened.

answer: the answer is   graph (a)

let's first notice, the center of the hyperbola is at the origin, since the focus points are equidistantly 3 units away from the origin, that also means that the distance "c" from the center to either focus is 3.

it should also be notable that, the traverse axis for this hyperbola is vertical, or namely over the y-axis and therefore, the positive fraction will be the one with y-variable.

the traverse "a" component or distance from the center to either vertex is not 2, is more than 2, so we can safely put it at √5 ≈ 2.24.
