Problem
A right rectangular prism whose surface area and volume are numerically equal has edge lengths and
What is
Solution
The surface area of this right rectangular prism is
The volume of this right rectangular prism is
Equating the numerical values of the surface area and the volume, we have
Dividing both sides by
we get
Recall that
and
so we rewrite
as
