To solve for the surface area of the rectangular prism, we need to find the area of each face and then add them together.
From the image, we can see that the length of the rectangular prism is 12 inches, the width is 5 inches, and the height is 3 inches.
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be found using the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Plugging in the given dimensions, we get:
Surface Area = 2(12)(5) + 2(12)(3) + 2(5)(3)
Surface Area = 120 + 72 + 30
Surface Area = 222 square inches
Therefore, the correct answer is 222 square inches.
