Answer:
[tex]A = 2(width*length) + 2(length*height)+2(width*height)\\=> 2(wl+lh+wh)\\where \ w = width,\ l=length \ and \ h = height[/tex]
l = 8, w = 5, h = 6
A = 2(5*8 + 8*6 + 5*6)
A = 236
[tex]Volume = width * length * height\\V = wlh[/tex]
V = 5*8*6
V = 240
Ratio of A to V = A / V
236/240 = 236:240
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of any object is the total area of each face of that object. Now, we have a rectangular prism with dimensions given. Considering a face of the prism, there is an opposite face and this is why the area of each face was multiplied by 2. That is how the formula for the surface area of an object is derived
For the volume, the formula is multiplying the height, width and length
When the area and volume is computed, we now take the ratio of the answers to arrive at 236/240 which in ratio form is 236:240
