prism

[shahar]

i need help by understanding how to answer part b(ב) of the question:
There is prism.

1.a.(א) write the measures of the rectnagle that consist the prism in the drawing.
My Answer:
9 x 4 = 36
9 x 3 = 27
3 x 4 = 12
b.(ב) Does it possible to construct with these retangles another prism.
(I don't know how to answer this part).
c. (ג) You have a wire that create the skeleton of the prism. How many part to divide it? What is the length of the wire needed [to do it]?

Translation in Hebrew:
1. א. רשמו את המידות של המלבנים השונים שמרכיבים את התיבה שבשרטוט.

ב. האם אפשר להרכיב עם אותם מלבנים תיבה אחרת (שונה מהתיבה הנתונה)? הסבירו.

ג. לרשותנו חוט תיל ממנו יוצרים את שלד התיבה

לאילו חלקים יש לחתוך אותו? מה אורך החוט הדרוש?
?How can I answer the part b of the question

Your prism (actually right rectangular prism) consists of two 3 x 4 rectangles, two 3 x 9 rectangles, and two 4 x 9 rectangles. As long as these six shapes stay rectangles, the solid is rigid and cannot be deformed into a different shape.

?How can I answer the part b of the question

I would regard these as three distinct (different) prisms each constructed using the six rectangles in your question...

but I haven't translated all the text in your post so I don't know if I may have misunderstood or misinterpreted what was wanted in part b.

Hope that helps.

Here is Google's translation of the questions, which differs a little from what you said:

A. Write down the dimensions of the various rectangles that make up the box in the drawing.​

​

B. Is it possible to assemble another box (different from the given box) with the same rectangles? Explain.​

​

C. We have a wire from which we create the skeleton of the box. Into what pieces should it be cut? What is the length of wire needed?​

(The text translation and the image translation differ slightly.)

Your answer for (A) is the areas of the rectangles; if Google is right, then it may only be asking for the dimensions, namely "2 each of 3×4, 4×9, 3×9".

The answer to (B) depends on what they think "different" means. I would say that @The Highlander's three boxes are just the same box in different positions; laying a box on its side doesn't make it "different". So I think the answer is, No.

I presume the intended answer for (C) is, 4 each of 3, 4, and 9 cm, for a total of 64 cm.

Two figures are congruent if one can be transformed into the other by an isometry. This includes the basic high school geometry reflection, translation and rotation. All three of Highlanders figures are the same.
