There are 6 sides in a rectangular prism.
However, since the dimensions given for the prism are 7½ in. × 4 in. × 2½ in., the net of the prism will actually have 8 sides represented. This is because there will be an extra side represented for each dimension that is not a whole number.
7 in.
4 in.
2 in.
