Use the formula for the surface area of a right rectangular prism to find the surface area of a shape with the following measurements / l * ength = 4.5cm, wi * dth = 3.5cm; and height = 2.5cm (1 point)

Answer 1

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

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

Given:
Length = 4.5 cm
Width = 3.5 cm
Height = 2.5 cm

Plug these values into the formula:

Surface Area = 2 * (4.5 * 3.5 + 4.5 * 2.5 + 3.5 * 2.5)

Calculate the expression inside the parentheses:

Surface Area = 2 * (15.75 + 11.25 + 8.75)

Simplify:

Surface Area = 2 * 35.75

Calculate the product:

Surface Area = 71.5

The surface area of the given shape is 71.5 square cm.
