. Find surface area of right rectangular prism with edge lengths of 8 inches.

1 answer

To find the surface area of a right rectangular prism, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2(lw + lh + wh) \]

where \( l \), \( w \), and \( h \) are the lengths of the edges of the prism.

In your case, since all edge lengths are equal to 8 inches, we have:

  • \( l = 8 \) inches
  • \( w = 8 \) inches
  • \( h = 8 \) inches

Substituting these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2(8 \times 8 + 8 \times 8 + 8 \times 8) \] \[ = 2(64 + 64 + 64) \] \[ = 2(192) \] \[ = 384 \text{ square inches} \]

Thus, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 384 square inches.
