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 together.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l = length, w = width, and h = height.
Given that the rectangular prism is 2cm wide, 7cm high, and 10cm long, we can plug these values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(10)(2) + 2(10)(7) + 2(2)(7)
Surface Area = 40 + 140 + 28
Surface Area = 208 cm^2
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 208 cm^2.
The correct answer is: 208 cm^2
