To solve for the surface area of the rectangular prism, we need to find the area of each of the six faces and then add them together.
Front and back faces: 4 inches x 5 inches = 20 square inches
Top and bottom faces: 4 inches x 6 inches = 24 square inches
Side faces: 5 inches x 6 inches = 30 square inches
Adding all the faces together:
20 + 20 + 24 + 24 + 30 + 30 = 148 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 148 square inches.
None of the given options match this calculation, so the closest answer would be 180 square inches.
