Q.Here’s the English translation of your sentence: "A right rectangular prism has its length twice the breadth and its height half the breadth. If the total surface area of the prism is 448 square centimeters, find its volume."

Let the breadth of the rectangular prism be \(x\) cm. \[ \therefore \text{Length} = 2x \text{ cm}, \quad \text{Height} = \frac{x}{2} \text{ cm} \] \[ \therefore 2(2x \times x + 2x \times \frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{2} \times x) = 448 \Rightarrow 2(2x^2 + x^2 + \frac{x^2}{2}) = 448 \Rightarrow 2\left(\frac{4x^2 + 2x^2 + x^2}{2}\right) = 448 \Rightarrow 7x^2 = 448 \Rightarrow x^2 = 64 \Rightarrow x = 8 \] \[ \therefore \text{Volume of the prism} = x \times 2x \times \frac{x}{2} = x^3 \text{ cm}^3 = 8^3 \text{ cm}^3 = 512 \text{ cm}^3 \] \[ \therefore \text{The volume of the rectangular prism is } 512 \text{ cubic centimeters.} \]
