To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, the formula is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Where:
l = length
w = width
h = height
Plugging in the values:
l = 30 cm
w = 6 cm
h = 20 cm
Surface Area = 2(30)(6) + 2(30)(20) + 2(6)(20)
Surface Area = 360 + 1200 + 240
Surface Area = 1800 + 240
Surface Area = 2040 cm^2
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 2040 square centimeters.
