To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, you need to find the areas of all six faces and then add them together.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given the dimensions of the rectangular prism in the image:
l = 6 inches
w = 3 inches
h = 5 inches
Plug in the values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(6*3) + 2(6*5) + 2(3*5)
Surface Area = 2(18) + 2(30) + 2(15)
Surface Area = 36 + 60 + 30
Surface Area = 126 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 126 square inches.
Use the image to answer the question. Solve for the surface area of the rectangular prism. (1 point) Responses 111 square inches 111 square inches 180 square inches 180 square inches 270 square inches 270 square inches 222 square inches
