To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, we need to add up the areas of all the faces.
In this case, the rectangular prism has 6 faces: 2 rectangles with dimensions 3cm x 4cm, 2 rectangles with dimensions 3cm x 2cm, and 2 rectangles with dimensions 2cm x 4cm.
The formula to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Plugging in the dimensions:
Surface Area = 2(3)(4) + 2(3)(2) + 2(2)(4)
Surface Area = 24 + 12 + 16
Surface Area = 52 cm²
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 52 square centimeters.

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism correctly this time.
To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, we need to add up the areas of all the faces.
In this case, the given rectangular prism has 6 faces:
- There are two faces with dimensions 3cm x 4cm: 2 * (3cm * 4cm) = 24cm²
- There are two faces with dimensions 3cm x 2cm: 2 * (3cm * 2cm) = 12cm²
- There are two faces with dimensions 2cm x 4cm: 2 * (2cm * 4cm) = 16cm²
Adding up all these areas:
Surface Area = 24cm² + 12cm² + 16cm² = 52cm²
Therefore, the correct surface area of the rectangular prism is 52 square centimeters. Thank you for your understanding.
