Add information to diagram, and let x = length of missing side
The volume of a rectangular box = (length)(width)(height)
We're told the volume = 480
So, we can write: (5)(12)(x) = 480
Simplify to get: 60x = 480
Solve, x = 8
Add this info to the diagram....
What is the total surface area of the solid, in square units?
Area of FRONT face = (8)(12) = 96
So, area of BACK face = 96
Area of TOP face = (5)(12) = 60
So, area of BOTTOM face = 60
Area of LEFT face = (5)(8) = 40
So, area of RIGHT face = 40
TOTAL surface area = 96 + 96 + 60 + 60 + 40 + 40
= 392
Answer: 392
Cheers,
Brent
