Figure 1 Figure 2
Figure 1 shows a closed letter box ABFEHGCD, which is made to be attached to a wall of a
house.
The letter box is a right prism of length y cm as shown in Figure 1. The base ABFE of the
prism is a rectangle. The total surface area of the six faces of the prism is S cm2.
The cross section ABCD of the letter box is a trapezium with edges of lengths DA = 9x cm,
AB = 4x cm, BC = 6x cm and CD = 5x cm as shown in Figure 2.
The angle DAB = 90° and the angle ABC = 90°. The volume of the letter box is 9600 cm3.
