To find the surface area of a prism, you need to calculate the area of each individual face and then add them all together.
In this case, the net of the prism shown includes 2 rectangles with dimensions:
- Rectangle 1: 3 mm x 4 mm = 12 mm²
- Rectangle 2: 3 mm x 4 mm = 12 mm²
Since there are 2 copies of each rectangle in the net, we need to add them together:
12 mm² + 12 mm² = 24 mm²
The surface area of this prism is 24 mm².
Using the net of the prism shown, what is its surface area? (1 point) mm2
