The surface area of the prism is 270 mm^2. This is calculated by multiplying the width (3 mm) by the height (4 mm) to get the area of the two rectangular faces (12 mm^2), then multiplying the length (15 mm) by the width (3 mm) to get the area of the two rectangular side faces (45 mm^2), and finally adding the two areas together (12 mm^2 + 45 mm^2 = 57 mm^2).
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!

2(3*4 + 3*15 + 4*15) = 334
