The figure below is a net for a rectangular prism. Side a = 66 centimeters, side b = 25 centimeters, and side c = 18 centimete What is the surface area of this figure?

1 answer

To find the surface area of the rectangular prism, we need to find the area of each of the six faces and then add them together.

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

Surface Area = 2(ab + bc + ac)

Plugging in the values of a, b, and c:

Surface Area = 2(66*25 + 25*18 + 66*18)
Surface Area = 2(1650 + 450 + 1188)
Surface Area = 2(3288)
Surface Area = 6576 square centimeters

Therefore, the surface area of this figure is 6576 square centimeters.
