To find the surface area of a right rectangular prism, you need to calculate the area of each of its six faces and then add them together.

The formula for the surface area of a right rectangular prism is:

Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

where l represents the length, w represents the width, and h represents the height of the prism.

In this case, the length, width, and height are all equal to 15.10 cm.

Substituting these values into the formula:

Surface Area = 2(15.10)(15.10) + 2(15.10)(15.10) + 2(15.10)(15.10)
Surface Area = 2(228.01) + 2(228.01) + 2(228.01)
Surface Area = 456.02 + 456.02 + 456.02
Surface Area = 1368.06

Therefore, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 1,368.06 cm².
