Step-by-step explanation:

You want to make a retangular prism out of cardboard. The base is 3 feet by 4 feet. The height is 2 feet. You have $5.00 and cardboard costs .10 per square foot.

a) What is the surface area of the rectangular prism?

Length × Width × Height

3 feet × 4 feet × 2 feet

= 24 square feet

b).How much will it cost to make the rectangular prism out of cardboard?

1 ft² = $0.5

24 ft² = x

Cross Multiply

x = 24ft² × $0.5/1 ft²

x = $12

It would cost $12 to make the rectangular prism out of the cardboard. You do not have sufficient money to make it
