222 square inches

Answer 1

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

Given that the rectangle has a width of 3m, a height of 5m, and a length of 12m, we can calculate the surface area:

- Front and back sides: 12m * 5m = 60 square meters (2 sides)
- Top and bottom sides: 12m * 3m = 36 square meters (2 sides)
- Left and right sides: 5m * 3m = 15 square meters (2 sides)

Adding all the sides together:
60 + 60 + 36 + 36 + 15 + 15 = 222

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 222 square meters.

So, the correct answer is:
222 square inches
