Question

Consider the rectangular prism with length 3 cm, width 4 cm, and height of 6 cm. Will

doubling one of the dimensions of the rectangular prism double the surface area of the
prism? Justify your answer

Answer 1

Answer: No, because it will only double 4 of the faces not all 6. So the surface area will be increased but not double because every face won’t be doubled in area if only one dimension is doubled.
