Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’ll find the
volume (V) and
surface area (SA) for each rectangular prism.
---
🔢 Formulas to remember:
-
Volume = length × width × height
→ V = l × w × h
-
Surface Area = 2×(lw + lh + wh)
→ SA = 2(lw + lh + wh)
We’ll use these for all four problems.

✔ Problem 1:
Dimensions:
Length = 8 cm, Width = 7 cm, Height = 7 cm
Step 1: Volume
V = 8 × 7 × 7
= 56 × 7
=
392 cm³
Step 2: Surface Area
First, calculate each pair:
lw = 8 × 7 = 56
lh = 8 × 7 = 56
wh = 7 × 7 = 49
Add them: 56 + 56 + 49 = 161
Multiply by 2: 161 × 2 =
322 cm²
✔ Matches given answer.

##
✔ Problem 2:
Dimensions:
Length = 5 cm, Width = 4 cm, Height = 4 cm
Step 1: Volume
V = 5 × 4 × 4
= 20 × 4
=
80 cm³
Step 2: Surface Area
lw = 5 × 4 = 20
lh = 5 × 4 = 20
wh = 4 × 4 = 16
Add: 20 + 20 + 16 = 56
Multiply by 2: 56 × 2 =
112 cm²
✔ Matches given answer.

##
✔ Problem 3:
Dimensions:
Length = 2 cm, Width = 2 cm, Height = 3 cm
Step 1: Volume
V = 2 × 2 × 3
= 4 × 3
=
12 cm³
Step 2: Surface Area
lw = 2 × 2 = 4
lh = 2 × 3 = 6
wh = 2 × 3 = 6
Add: 4 + 6 + 6 = 16
Multiply by 2: 16 × 2 =
32 cm²
✔ Matches given answer.

##
✔ Problem 4:
Dimensions:
Length = 4 cm, Width = 3 cm, Height = 3 cm
Step 1: Volume
V = 4 × 3 × 3
= 12 × 3
=
36 cm³
Step 2: Surface Area
lw = 4 × 3 = 12
lh = 4 × 3 = 12
wh = 3 × 3 = 9
Add: 12 + 12 + 9 = 33
Multiply by 2: 33 × 2 =
66 cm²
✔ Matches given answer.
