To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, we use the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given:
Length (l) = 18 (since 54 ÷ 3 = 18)
Height (h) = 12 (since 36 ÷ 3 = 12)
Width (w) = 8 (since 24 ÷ 3 = 8)
Plug the values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(18)(12) + 2(18)(8) + 2(12)(8)
Surface Area = 432 + 288 + 192
Surface Area = 912
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 912 square units.
using the numbers 54, 36,24 what is the surface area of a rectangular prism?
