Aright rectangular prism has a length of 10 in., a width of 12 in., and a height of 16 in. the dimensions of the prism are halved. what is the surface area of the reduced prism? enter your answer in the box. in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given prism has dimension;

If the dimensions of the prism are halved then;

The surface area of the reduced prism will be;

236in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

length of rectangular prism  = 10 in

width of rectangular prism  = 12 in

height of the prism = 16 in

Since the dimensions are reduced to half so the new dimensions are

length of rectangular prism  = 5 in

width of rectangular prism  = 6 in

height of the prism = 8 in

Formula to calculate the surface area

2(lw + lh + wh)

2 ((5x6) + (8x5) + 2(6x8))

236 in²

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
