There are 6 faces in a rectangular prism.
The formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
2lw + 2lh + 2wh
The dimensions of the prism are: length = 5 ft, width = 2 ft, height = 8 ft.
Calculating the surface area:
2(5)(2) + 2(5)(8) + 2(2)(8)
= 10 + 80 + 32
= 122 square feet
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 122 square feet.
Use this net to find the surface area of the rectangular prism it represents. (1 point) the lengths are 5 ft, 2 ft, and 8 ft.
