Answer 1

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

Surface Area = 2*(length * width + length * height + width * height)

Using the given measurements:
Length = 4.5 cm, Width = 3.5 cm, Height = 2.5 cm

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Surface Area = 2*(4.5 * 3.5 + 4.5 * 2.5 + 3.5 * 2.5)

Calculating this, we find:
Surface Area = 2*(15.75 + 11.25 + 8.75)
Surface Area = 2*(35.75)
Surface Area = 71.5 cm²

Therefore, the correct answer is:
71.5 cm²
