__ mm2

1 answer

The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated by adding up the areas of all six sides.

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given:
Length (l) = 18 mm
Height (h) = 10 mm
Width (w) = 2 mm

Substitute the values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(18)(2) + 2(18)(10) + 2(10)(2)
Surface Area = 72 + 360 + 40
Surface Area = 472 mm2

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 472 mm2.
