Formulas for a rectangular prism:

  • Volume of Rectangular Prism: V = lwh
  • Surface Area of Rectangular Prism: S = 2(lw + lh + wh)
  • Space Diagonal of Rectangular Prism: d = √(l^2 + w^2 + h^2)

Calculations for a rectangular prism:

1. Given the length, width and height find the volume, surface area and diagonal

  • h, l and w are known; find V, S and d
  • V = lwh
  • S = 2(lw + lh + wh)
  • d = √(l^2 + w^2 + h^2)

2. Given the surface area, length and width find the height, volume and diagonal

  • S, l and w are known; find h, V and d
  • h = (S - 2lw) / (2l + 2w)
  • V = lwh
  • d = √(l^2 + w^2 + h^2)

3. Given the volume, length and width find the height, surface area, and diagonal

  • V, l and w are known; find h, S and d
  • h = V / lw
  • S = 2(lw + lh + wh)
  • d = √(l^2 + w^2 + h^2)

4. Given the diagonal, length and width find the height, volume and surface area

  • d, l and w are known; find h, V and S
  • h = √(d^2 - l^2 - w^2)
  • V = lwh
  • S = 2(lw + lh + wh)
