The surface area of a right rectangular prism can be calculated by finding the sum of the areas of all of its faces.
For a right rectangular prism, there are six faces: two congruent rectangles on the top and bottom, and four congruent rectangles on the sides.
The area of each rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length (l), width (w), and 2 (since there are two identical rectangles for each face).
Given that each edge length is 15 ft, the length (l) = 15 ft, width (w) = 15 ft, and 2 (since there are two rectangles on each face),
the area of each rectangle is: 15 ft * 15 ft * 2 = 450 ft^2.
Since we have six faces, the total surface area is 6 * 450 ft^2 = 2700 ft^2.
Therefore, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 2700 ft^2.
