The formula to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Plugging in the values given:
Surface Area = 2(12)(5) + 2(12)(3) + 2(5)(3)
Surface Area = 120 + 72 + 30
Surface Area = 222 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 222 square inches.
