Surface area of right rectangular prisms quick check answers.

1 answer

Sure! The surface area \( S \) of a right rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

\[ S = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh \]

where \( l \) is the length, \( w \) is the width, and \( h \) is the height of the prism.

For a quick reference, here’s a breakdown of the formula:

  • \( 2lw \): Area of the top and bottom faces
  • \( 2lh \): Area of the front and back faces
  • \( 2wh \): Area of the left and right faces
