Question
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows the unfolded version of a rectangular prism composed of 6 rectangles. There are four adjoining rectangles positioned horizontally. The first and third are similar and smaller. The second and fourth are similar and bigger. The first rectangle is labeled 3 meters on the left side vertically and 1.5 meters on the top horizontally. The second rectangle is labeled as 4 meters on the bottom. The fourth rectangle shares the top and bottom sides with two similar rectangles, one on each side.

To find the total surface area of the rectangular prism, you need to calculate the area of each of the six rectangles and then add them together.
1. First rectangle: 3 meters x 1.5 meters = 4.5 square meters
2. Second rectangle: 4 meters x 1.5 meters = 6 square meters
3. Third rectangle: 3 meters x 1.5 meters = 4.5 square meters
4. Fourth rectangle: 4 meters x 1.5 meters = 6 square meters
5. Fifth rectangle: 3 meters x 4 meters = 12 square meters
6. Sixth rectangle: 1.5 meters x 4 meters = 6 square meters
Total surface area = 4.5 + 6 + 4.5 + 6 + 12 + 6 = 39 square meters
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 39 square meters.
1. First rectangle: 3 meters x 1.5 meters = 4.5 square meters
2. Second rectangle: 4 meters x 1.5 meters = 6 square meters
3. Third rectangle: 3 meters x 1.5 meters = 4.5 square meters
4. Fourth rectangle: 4 meters x 1.5 meters = 6 square meters
5. Fifth rectangle: 3 meters x 4 meters = 12 square meters
6. Sixth rectangle: 1.5 meters x 4 meters = 6 square meters
Total surface area = 4.5 + 6 + 4.5 + 6 + 12 + 6 = 39 square meters
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 39 square meters.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the surface area of the rectangular prism:
1. Front and back sides: (3m x 1.5m) + (3m x 1.5m) = 9 square meters
2. Top and bottom sides: (1.5m x 4m) + (1.5m x 4m) = 12 square meters
3. Left and right sides: (3m x 4m) + (3m x 4m) = 24 square meters
Total surface area = 9 + 12 + 24 = 45 square meters
Therefore, the correct surface area of the rectangular prism is 45 square meters. Thank you for pointing out the error.
