Based on the image provided, the surface area of the rectangular prism can be calculated by finding the area of each face separately and then adding them together.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
From the image, we can see that the length (l) is 2 meters, the width (w) is 3 meters, and the height (h) is 2 meters.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(2)(3) + 2(2)(2) + 2(3)(2)
Surface Area = 12 + 8 + 12
Surface Area = 32 square meters
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 32 m^2.
