Guidelines for Solving Exercise 2 Page 108 Math 5 Textbook
Exercise:
a) Identify equal edges of the rectangular box (side view).
b) Given dimensions of the rectangular box: length 6cm, width 3cm, height 4cm. Calculate area of base MNPQ and side surfaces ABMN, BCPN.
Solution Method:
- Students observe the diagram and identify the equal edges of the rectangular box.
- To calculate the area of the base and the side surfaces, all of which are rectangles, we apply the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length multiplied by width.
Answer:
a) AB = MN = QP = DC
AD = MQ = BC = NP
AM = BN = CP = DQ
b) The area of the base MNPQ is:
MN x NP = 6 x 3 = 18 (cm2)
The area of the side surface ABNM is:
AB x AM = 6 x 4 = 24 (cm2)
The area of the side surface BCPN is:
BC x CP = 4 x 3 = 12 (cm2)
Result: b) 18cm2, 24cm2, 12cm2.
