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

Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given that each edge length measures 12.75 cm, we can substitute this value into the formula:

Surface area = 2(12.75)(12.75) + 2(12.75)(12.75) + 2(12.75)(12.75)
Surface area = 2(162.5625) + 2(162.5625) + 2(162.5625)
Surface area = 325.125 + 325.125 + 325.125
Surface area = 975.375

Therefore, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 975.375 cm2. Rounded to the nearest hundredths, the surface area is 975.38 cm2.
