To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, you need to calculate the area of each of the six sides and then add them together.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given:
Length (l) = 2 inches
Width (w) = 2 inches
Height (h) = 10 inches
Plugging in the values:
2(2)(10) + 2(2)(2) + 2(10)(2)
40 + 8 + 40
= 88 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism with a height of 10 inches, width of 2 inches, and length of 2 inches is 88 square inches.
For each object find the surface area. 10 inch height, 2 inch width, 2 inch length
