To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, you need to calculate the area of each face and then add them together.

In this case, since we can see the net of the rectangular prism, we can see that there are 6 faces: 2 that are 5x5 in^2, 2 that are 3x5 in^2, and 2 that are 3x5 in^2.

To calculate the surface area, we use the formula: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh.

Plugging in our values, we get:
2(5)(5) + 2(5)(3) + 2(5)(3) = 50 + 30 + 30 = 110 in^2

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 110 in^2.
The closest answer choice is 123 in^2 but the correct surface area is actually 110 in^2.

I apologize for the mistake in the previous response.

Looking at the net of the rectangular prism, we can see that there are 6 faces.
The dimensions of the prism are: 5 in x 3 in x 5 in.

To calculate the surface area, we use the formula: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh.

Plugging in the values, we get:
2(5)(3) + 2(5)(5) + 2(3)(5) = 30 + 50 + 30 = 110 in^2

Therefore, the correct surface area of the rectangular prism is 110 in^2, which is not listed among the provided answer choices.
