use a net to find the surface area of the prism

Question

33cm
6.5cm
14cm

Answer 1

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

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given dimensions are:
l = 33 cm
w = 6.5 cm
h = 14 cm

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Surface Area = 2(33*6.5) + 2(33*14) + 2(6.5*14)
Surface Area = 2(214.5) + 2(462) + 2(91)
Surface Area = 429 + 924 + 182
Surface Area = 1535 cm^2

Therefore, the surface area of the prism is 1535 square centimeters.
