To form a rectangular prism, we need three dimensions: length, width, and height.
Let's find sets of three numbers that multiply to 24 and can represent the dimensions of a rectangular prism.
Since 24 = 2 × 2 × 6 = 3 × 4 × 2 = 1 × 6 × 4, there are a few combinations we can use:
- 2 × 2 × 6
- 3 × 4 × 2
- 1 × 6 × 4
We can also find other combinations by rearranging the factors:
4. 2 × 6 × 2
5. 4 × 3 × 2
6. 6 × 4 × 1
These are six sets of three numbers that when multiplied together equal 24 and can represent the dimensions of a rectangular prism.
