Answer 1

To find the surface area of the rectangular prism, we need to calculate the sum of the area of all the rectangles in the net.

The rectangular prism has 6 faces - 2 faces of length 8 in. and width 5 in., and 4 faces of length 5 in. and width 3 in.

So, the surface area of the rectangular prism would be:
2(8 in. * 5 in.) + 4(5 in. * 3 in.)
= 2(40 in^2) + 4(15 in^2)
= 80 in^2 + 60 in^2
= 140 in^2

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 140 in^2.
