To find the surface area of the rectangular prism, we need to calculate the area of each of the six rectangles and then add them up.
Rectangle 1:
Area = 3 * 1.5 = 4.5 square meters
Rectangle 2:
Area = 4 * 5 = 20 square meters
Rectangle 3:
Area = 3 * 4 = 12 square meters
Rectangle 4:
Area = 4 * 8 = 32 square meters
Top rectangle:
Area = 3 * 4.5 = 13.5 square meters
Bottom rectangle:
Area = 3 * 4.5 = 13.5 square meters
Total Surface Area = 4.5 + 20 + 12 + 32 + 13.5 + 13.5 = 96.5 square meters
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 96.5 square meters.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows the unfolded version of a rectangular prism composed of 6 rectangles. There are four adjoining rectangles positioned horizontally. The first and third are similar and smaller. The second and fourth are similar and bigger. The first rectangle is labeled 3 meters on the left side vertically and 1.5 meters on the top horizontally. The second rectangle is labeled as 4 meters on the bottom. The fourth rectangle shares the top and bottom sides with two similar rectangles, one on each side.

incorrect answer
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's recalculate the surface area of the rectangular prism using the given dimensions:
Rectangle 1:
Area = 3 * 1.5 = 4.5 square meters
Rectangle 2:
Area = 4 * 5 = 20 square meters
Rectangle 3:
Area = 3 * 4 = 12 square meters
Rectangle 4:
Area = 4 * 8 = 32 square meters
Top rectangle:
Area = 3 * 4 = 12 square meters
Bottom rectangle:
Area = 3 * 4 = 12 square meters
Total Surface Area = 4.5 + 20 + 12 + 32 + 12 + 12 = 92.5 square meters
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 92.5 square meters.
Rectangle 1:
Area = 3 * 1.5 = 4.5 square meters
Rectangle 2:
Area = 4 * 5 = 20 square meters
Rectangle 3:
Area = 3 * 4 = 12 square meters
Rectangle 4:
Area = 4 * 8 = 32 square meters
Top rectangle:
Area = 3 * 4 = 12 square meters
Bottom rectangle:
Area = 3 * 4 = 12 square meters
Total Surface Area = 4.5 + 20 + 12 + 32 + 12 + 12 = 92.5 square meters
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 92.5 square meters.
is 42 the correct answer
Let's review the calculation again to find the correct surface area of the rectangular prism.
Rectangle 1:
Area = 3 * 1.5 = 4.5 square meters
Rectangle 2:
Area = 4 * 5 = 20 square meters
Rectangle 3:
Area = 3 * 4 = 12 square meters
Rectangle 4:
Area = 4 * 8 = 32 square meters
Top rectangle:
Area = 3 * 4 = 12 square meters
Bottom rectangle:
Area = 3 * 4 = 12 square meters
Total Surface Area = 4.5 + 20 + 12 + 32 + 12 + 12 = 92.5 square meters
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 92.5 square meters, not 42 square meters. Thank you for your patience.
