  1. Given : In a block building game, Belén has 56 cubes of 1 unit in side length. Using all of them, she built a rectangular prism with a base perimeter of 22 unit lengths. What is the height of the prism ?

    Answer :

    we know that,

    • Volume of prism = Base Area * height .
    • Base Area = L * B
    • Base perimeter = 2(L + B)
    • Volume of cube = (a)³

    Let , height of prism is H unit .

    so,

    → Volume of prism = Volume of cubes of 1 unit side length

    → (L * B) * H = 56 * (1)³

    → (L * B) * H = 56

    now, given that,

    → 2(L + B) = 22

    → (L + B) = 11

    taking, possible values of L and B, and if we assume that , all L , B and H are positive integers , then,

    • 1, 10 => H = 5.6 ≠ not a integer .
    • 2, 9 => H = 56/18 ≠ not a integer .
    • 4, 7 => H => 56/28 = 2 = a integer .

    therefore, we can conclude that, values of L and B are 7 and 4 .

    hence,

    → 7 * 4 * H = 56

    → H = 2 unit (Ans.)

    [ Note :- In question it should be mentioned that H must a integer . otherwise we have to check options. ]

  2. Given : In a block building game, Belén has 56 cubes of 1 unit in side length. Using all of them, she built a rectangular prism with a base perimeter of 22 unit lengths.

    To Find : height of the prism

    8,7,6,4,3,2,1

    Solution:

    a base perimeter of 22 unit lengths.

    Which can be

    Base perimeter = 2 ( l + b)

    2 (1 + 10)

    2 ( 2 + 9)

    2 ( 3 + 8)

    2 ( 4 + 7)

    2 ( 5 + 6)

    now l * b * h = 56

    only possible when

    4 * 7 * 2 = 56

    Hence base area 4 * 7

    and height is 2

    height of the prism is 2 unit
