Surface area of right rectangular prism practice

Question

alculate the surface area of a right rectangular prism with dimensions w=12 in. , l=18 in. , and  h=8 in. . How many square inches is the surface area?(1 point)

Answer 1

To calculate the surface area of a right rectangular prism, you need to find the sum of the areas of all of its faces.

The formula to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism is given by:

Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Substituting the given dimensions, we have:

Surface Area = 2(12 in)(18 in) + 2(12 in)(8 in) + 2(18 in)(8 in)

Simplifying this expression gives:

Surface Area = 432 in² + 192 in² + 288 in²

Adding the terms together, we get:

Surface Area = 912 in²

Therefore, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 912 square inches.
