The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated by using the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the prism.
In this case, each edge length is 15 ft. Therefore, l = w = h = 15 ft.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(15)(15) + 2(15)(15) + 2(15)(15)
Surface Area = 2(225) + 2(225) + 2(225)
Surface Area = 450 + 450 + 450
Surface Area = 1350 ft²
Therefore, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 1350 square feet.
Calculate the surface area of a right rectangular prism. Each edge length is 15 ft. (1 point)
