In a rectangular prism, the surface area is 24 and the sum of the lengths of all twelve edges is 24.  What is the volume of the prism?

surface area =  2 (LW + LH + WH)  =  24    ⇒    LW + LH + WH  =  12

 

sum of  edge lengths = 4 [ L + W + H)  = 24   ⇒  L + W + H =   6

 

Using a little logic and assuming integer values for  each dimensinon, each edge measures 2

 

Proof

 

L + W + H = 6                 LW + LH + WH  =12

2 + 2 + 2  =  6                 2*2 + 2*2 + 2*2 =  12

 

The volume =  LWH =  2*2*2  =   8 cubic units
