D. 402 in.3

1 answer

First, we need to find the individual areas of each face of the rectangular prism.

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Plugging in the given dimensions:
2(8*3) + 2(8*10) + 2(3*10)
= 48 + 160 + 60
= 268 in^2

Therefore, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 268 in^2.
A. 268 in^2
