What is the surface area of the rectangular prism?(1 point)

3 answers

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

Let's assume that the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism are given as follows:
Length = 6 units
Width = 4 units
Height = 3 units

First, calculate the area of each face:
1. Top face: Length x Width = 6 x 4 = 24 square units
2. Bottom face: Length x Width = 6 x 4 = 24 square units
3. Front face: Length x Height = 6 x 3 = 18 square units
4. Back face: Length x Height = 6 x 3 = 18 square units
5. Left face: Width x Height = 4 x 3 = 12 square units
6. Right face: Width x Height = 4 x 3 = 12 square units

Now, add all the areas together:
24 + 24 + 18 + 18 + 12 + 12 = 108 square units

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 108 square units.
It’s 3m height, 4m length, and 1.5m wide
To calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism with a height of 3m, length of 4m, and width of 1.5m, follow the same approach as before:

1. Top face: Length x Width = 4m x 1.5m = 6 square meters
2. Bottom face: Length x Width = 4m x 1.5m = 6 square meters
3. Front face: Length x Height = 4m x 3m = 12 square meters
4. Back face: Length x Height = 4m x 3m = 12 square meters
5. Left face: Width x Height = 1.5m x 3m = 4.5 square meters
6. Right face: Width x Height = 1.5m x 3m = 4.5 square meters

Now, add all the areas together:
6 + 6 + 12 + 12 + 4.5 + 4.5 = 45 square meters

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism with a height of 3m, length of 4m, and width of 1.5m is 45 square meters.
