Here are the answers to your questions:
Question 1
A) What does surface area measure?
Answer: the outside of a three-dimensional shape
Question 2
A) How many two-dimensional shapes make up a rectangular prism?
Answer: six
Question 3
A) Solve for the surface area of the rectangular prism with dimensions: length 12 inches, width 5 inches, height 3 inches.
Surface Area (SA) = 2(lw + lh + wh)
= 2(125 + 123 + 5*3)
= 2(60 + 36 + 15)
= 2(111)
= 222 square inches
Answer: 222 square inches
Question 4
A) What is the surface area of a cube with side 1.5 meters?
Surface Area (SA) = 6s²
= 6(1.5)²
= 6(2.25)
= 13.5 square meters
Answer: 13.5 square meters
Question 5
A) What is the surface area of a cube with a side length of 8 inches?
Surface Area (SA) = 6s²
= 6(8)²
= 6(64)
= 384 square inches
Answer: 384 square inches
