The diagonal of the base is 4 radical 5 centimeters

The area of a base is 40 square centimeters

The area of a lateral side between the bases is about 126.5 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the base of the rectangular prism

The volume of the prism is equal to

V=Bh

where

B is the area of the square base

h is the height of prism

we have

$V=800\ cm^3$

$h=20\ cm$

substitute and solve for B

800=B(20)

B=800/(20)

$B=40\ cm^2$

step 2

Find the length side of the square base b

$b=\sqrt{B}\ cm$ -----> is a square base

substitute the value of B

$b=\sqrt{40}\ cm$

$b=2\sqrt{10}\ cm$

step 3

Find the diagonal of the base

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

$d=\sqrt{\sqrt{40}^2+\sqrt{40}^2}$

$d=\sqrt{80}\ cm$

$d=4\sqrt{5}\ cm$

step 4

Find the area of a lateral side between the bases

The area of a lateral side is

A=bh

substitute

$A=2\sqrt{10}(20)$

$A=126.49\ cm^2$

Verify each statement

case 1) The prism is a cube

The statement is false, because the cube has three equal length sides, and the rectangular prism has not three equal length sides

case 2) The diagonal of the base is 4 radical 5 centimeters

The statement is true (see the step 3)

case 3) The length of a side of the base is 20 centimeters

The statement is false, because the length of the base is $2\sqrt{10}\ cm$

case 4) The area of a base is 40 square centimeters

The statement is true (see the step 1)

case 5) The area of a lateral side between the bases is about 126.5 square centimeters

The statement is true (see the step 4)

answer: 20

step-by-step explanation: subtract the minimum date value from the maximum data value to find the date range. in this casem the date range is 42 - 22 = 20

Answer from: Quest

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
