Answer 1

To find the area of the top and bottom faces of a rectangular prism, you need to calculate the area of one face and then multiply it by 2, since both faces are the same.

If we assume that the dimensions of the top and bottom faces are length (l) and width (w), the area of one face is given by the formula:

\[
\text{Area of one face} = l \times w
\]

Without specific dimensions given in your question, I cannot calculate the exact area. However, if the answer options are \(180 \, \text{cm}^2\), \(45 \, \text{cm}^2\), or \(28 \, \text{cm}^2\), then it seems you need one of these as the correct answer for the area of the top and bottom faces.

Would you like to provide the dimensions or clarify any details? If we assume that the area of the top and bottom faces is one of the listed options, simply choose that number, and remember to multiply it by 2 for calculating the total contribution from those faces when finding the surface area.
