The area of the stacked prism is the amount of space on it
To create a total area between 100 square inches and 130 square inches, 2 to 2.5 prisms
How to determine the number of prisms?
The dimension of the prism is given as:
2 inches by 3 inches by 4 inches
The surface area of the prism is calculated as:
A = 2 * (LW + WH + LH)
This gives
A = 2 * (2 * 3 + 3 * 4 + 2 * 4)
Evaluate the product
A = 52
When the prisims are stacked onto one another, the surface area is between 100 square inches and 130 square inches.
So, the number of prisms (n) needed is:
100/ 52 < n < 130/52
Evaluate the quotient
1.9 < n < 2.5
Approximate
2 < n < 2.5
Hence, 2 to 2.5 prisms are needed to create a total area between 100 square inches and 130 square inches.
