An illustration shows a rectangular prism with length 12 inches, width 5 inches, and height 3 inches. The top, front, and right faces are visible. The edges that are not visible are represented by dashed lines.

Solve for the surface area of the rectangular prism.

(1 point)

1 answer

Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Surface Area = 2(12)(5) + 2(12)(3) + 2(5)(3)
Surface Area = 120 + 72 + 30
Surface Area = 222 square inches

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 222 square inches.
