Find surface area of a textbook that is 2 inch by 14 inch by 9 in

Answer 1

To find the surface area of the textbook, we need to calculate the area of all six sides of the rectangular prism.

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = (2 * length * width) + (2 * length * height) + (2 * width * height)

Given:
Length = 2 inches
Width = 14 inches
Height = 9 inches

Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:
Surface Area = (2 * 2 * 14) + (2 * 2 * 9) + (2 * 14 * 9)
Surface Area = 56 + 36 + 252
Surface Area = 344 square inches

Therefore, the surface area of the textbook is 344 square inches.
