# What are 6 different ways to stack a rectangular prism?

The question I'm currently trying to solve calls for 6 different ways to stack rectangular prisms evenly. So, each outcome must differentiate from one another, in terms of surface area. I was able to come up with 5 different ways, but I'm stuck on the last one.

$L = 19.7 \mathbb{cm}; \ W = 17 \mathbb{cm}; \ H = 12 \mathbb{cm}$

1. $4784\mathbb{cm}^2$

2. $4046.8\mathbb{cm}^2$

3. $4978.4\mathbb{cm}^2$

4. $4193\mathbb{cm}^2$

5. $4440.8\mathbb{cm}^2$

6) ______?

P.S Does anyone know any online drawing tools so I can draw it for you? *I'm stacking 4 rectangular prisms.

• How many prisms are you stacking? – najayaz Mar 22 '15 at 6:03
• I fail to see how can you get $1958.60$. The smallest area I get get for stacking two cuboids together is already $2431.40$. – achille hui Mar 22 '15 at 6:50
• How can you stalk four prisms at the same time?;) – najayaz Mar 22 '15 at 14:05
• G-Man, I'm stacking 4. Achille, Yes, I realize my mistake. I fixed it. G-Man, Hahahahahaha nice one. I'll fix that. :) – austrekain Mar 22 '15 at 14:10
