The formula to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
In this case:
l = 2 feet
w = 3 feet
h = 4 feet
Plugging these values into the formula:
Surface area = 2(2)(3) + 2(2)(4) + 2(3)(4)
Surface area = 12 + 16 + 24
Surface area = 52 square feet
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 52 square feet.
A rectangular prism has a length of 2 feet, a width of three feet, and a height of four feet. What is the surface area of the rectangular prism?
