Here is the problem: Find the volume and surface area of a rectangular prism 2 times 3 times 4.

2
00:00:07.137 --> 00:00:14.602
Compute the volume (cubic units) and total surface area (square units) of the solid from its dimensions in one length unit.

3
00:00:15.402 --> 00:00:15.959
Volume.

4
00:00:16.409 --> 00:00:19.602
Surface area: three pairs of rectangles.

5
00:00:20.402 --> 00:00:27.124
So the answer is Volume equals 24 cubic units; surface area equals 52 square units.

6
00:00:27.574 --> 00:00:38.813
Volume counts unit cubes inside a solid; surface area counts unit squares needed to wrap it. Doubling every length multiplies volume by 8 and surface area by 4.

7
00:00:39.612 --> 00:00:43.850
Volume 24 and surface area 52 are positive.
