The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated by finding the area of each individual rectangle and then adding them together.
In this case, the rectangles are labeled as follows:
1. 4 meters x 10 meters = 40 square meters
2. 4 meters x 6.5 meters = 26 square meters
3. 6.5 meters x 10 meters = 65 square meters
4. 4 meters x 10 meters = 40 square meters
Adding them together:
40 + 26 + 65 + 40 = 171 square meters
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed, but the surface area of this rectangular prism is 171 square meters.
Question
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows the unfolded version of a rectangular prism composed of 6 rectangles. There are four adjoining rectangles positioned horizontally. The first and third are similar and bigger. The second and fourth are similar and smaller. The fourth rectangle is labeled 4 meters on the top side and 10 meters on the right side. The third rectangle shares the top and bottom sides with two similar rectangles, one on each side. The top rectangle is labeled as 6.5 meters on the common side with the third rectangle.
What is the surface area of this rectangular prism?
