Your calculations given are correct?
Answered by GPT 3.5
To determine the area of the top of the rectangular prism, you multiply the length by the width:

Area of the top = length x width = 12 in x 9 in = 108 sq in

To determine the area of the side of the rectangular prism, you multiply the height by the length:

Area of the side = height x length = 6 in x 12 in = 72 sq in

To determine the area of the front of the rectangular prism, you multiply the height by the width:

Area of the front = height x width = 6 in x 9 in = 54 sq in

To calculate the total surface area of the rectangular prism, you sum up the areas of all the six faces:

Total surface area = 2(top area) + 2(side area) + 2(front area)
Total surface area = 2(108 sq in) + 2(72 sq in) + 2(54 sq in)
Total surface area = 216 sq in + 144 sq in + 108 sq in
Total surface area = 468 sq in

Therefore, the total surface area of the rectangular prism is 468 square inches.
