The value of the surface area of a rectangular prism is equal to the value of the volume of the rectangular prism

To find The value of x. Evaluate to get the answer.

The surface area of a rectangular prism is given by:

⇒ S=2(lw+wh+lh)
Substitute l=6,w=x, and h=6 :
⇒ ​S=2(6⋅x+x⋅6+6⋅6)
⇒ S=2(6x+6x+36)
⇒ S=2(12x+36)
⇒ S=24x+72

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by:

V=Bh

where B is the area of the base and h is the height. From, the base is a rectangle so B=6x. We also have h=6:

​⇒ V=(6x)(6)
⇒ V=36x

The values of the surface area and volume are equal so :

⇒ S=V
⇒ 24x+72=36x
⇒ 72= 36x−24x
⇒ 72=12x
⇒ 12x= 72
⇒ x=72/12

∴ x=6 units

The required value of x is x=6 units.
