Diagonal of a Right Rectangular Prism formula

  • Diagonal is a line from one vertices to another that is non adjacent.
\( D' \;=\;  \sqrt{ a^2 + b^2 + h^2 } \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( D' \) = space diagonal \( in \) \( mm \)
\( a \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)
\( h \) = height \( in \) \( mm \)

 

Edge of a Right Rectangular Prism formulas

\( a \;=\;  \dfrac{ V }{ b \cdot h }   \) 

\( a \;=\;  \sqrt{ D'^2 - h^2 - b^2 } \) 

\( b \;=\;  \dfrac{ V }{ a \cdot h } \) 

\( b \;=\;  \sqrt{ D'^2 - h^2 - a^2 } \)

Symbol English Metric
\( a \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)
\( h \) = height \( in \) \( mm \)
\( D' \) = space diagonal \( in \) \( mm \)
\( V \) = volume \( in^3 \) \( mm^3 \)

 

Height of a Right Rectangular Prism formulas

\( h \;=\;  \dfrac{ V }{ a \cdot b } \) 

\( h \;=\;  \sqrt{ D'^2 - b^2 - a^2 } \) 

Symbol English Metric
\( h \) = height \( in \) \( mm \)
\( a \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)
\( D' \) = space diagonal \( in \) \( mm \)
\( V \) = volume \( in^3 \) \( mm^3 \)

 

Surface Area of a Right Rectangular Prism formula

\( A_s \;=\;   2 \cdot \left( a \cdot b + a \cdot h + b \cdot h \right) \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( A_s \) = surface area (bottom, top, sides) \( in^2 \) \( mm^2 \)
\( a \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)
\( h \) = height  \( in \) \( mm \)

 

Volume of a Right Rectangular Prism formula

\( V\;=\;   a \cdot b \cdot h \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( V \) = volume \( in^3 \) \( mm^3 \)
\( a \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)
\( h \) = height \( in \) \( mm \)
