To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, you need to calculate the area of each of its six faces and add them together.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Where:
l = length
w = width
h = height
Given dimensions:
l = 3 3/4 dm = 3.75 dm
w = 4 1/2 dm = 4.5 dm
h = 5 dm
Plugging the values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(3.75)(4.5) + 2(3.75)(5) + 2(4.5)(5)
Surface Area = 2(16.875) + 2(18.75) + 2(22.5)
Surface Area = 33.75 + 37.5 + 45
Surface Area = 116.25 square decimeters
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 116.25 square decimeters.
What is the surface area of a rectangular prism whose dimensions are 3 3/4 dm× 4 1/2 dm×5 dm in square decimeters?

thats wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct it.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given dimensions:
l = 3 3/4 dm = 3.75 dm
w = 4 1/2 dm = 4.5 dm
h = 5 dm
Plugging in the values:
Surface Area = 2(3.75)(4.5) + 2(3.75)(5) + 2(4.5)(5)
Surface Area = 2(16.875) + 2(18.75) + 2(22.5)
Surface Area = 33.75 + 37.5 + 45
Surface Area = 116.25 square decimeters
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 116.25 square decimeters. I double-checked the calculations, and the answer remains the same. If you have any other concerns, please let me know.

ok but its not an option
I apologize for the oversight. Let's double-check the calculations and convert the mixed numbers to decimals for accuracy.
Given dimensions:
l = 3 3/4 dm = 3.75 dm
w = 4 1/2 dm = 4.5 dm
h = 5 dm
Plugging in the values:
Surface Area = 2(3.75)(4.5) + 2(3.75)(5) + 2(4.5)(5)
Surface Area = 2(16.875) + 2(18.75) + 2(22.5)
Surface Area = 33.75 + 37.5 + 45
Surface Area = 116.25 square decimeters
As we previously calculated, the surface area of the rectangular prism is indeed 116.25 square decimeters. If this value is not an option, please verify the dimensions provided or let me know if you need further assistance.

Can you find another answer? answer choices are: 16 dm^2 16 116 1/4 dm^2 116 Start Fraction 1 over 4 End Fraction dm squared 8438 dm2 84 Start Fraction 3 over 8 End Fraction dm squared 5818 8 dm2
Let's convert all dimensions to decimals and calculate the surface area again:
Given dimensions:
l = 3 3/4 dm = 3.75 dm
w = 4 1/2 dm = 4.5 dm
h = 5 dm
Plugging in the values:
Surface Area = 2(3.75)(4.5) + 2(3.75)(5) + 2(4.5)(5)
Surface Area = 2(16.875) + 2(18.75) + 2(22.5)
Surface Area = 33.75 + 37.5 + 45
Surface Area = 116.25 square decimeters
Conversion to mixed number form:
116.25 = 116 1/4
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 116 1/4 square decimeters, which corresponds to the third option in the list.
Given dimensions:
l = 3 3/4 dm = 3.75 dm
w = 4 1/2 dm = 4.5 dm
h = 5 dm
Plugging in the values:
Surface Area = 2(3.75)(4.5) + 2(3.75)(5) + 2(4.5)(5)
Surface Area = 2(16.875) + 2(18.75) + 2(22.5)
Surface Area = 33.75 + 37.5 + 45
Surface Area = 116.25 square decimeters
Conversion to mixed number form:
116.25 = 116 1/4
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 116 1/4 square decimeters, which corresponds to the third option in the list.
116 1/4 dm^2 is the third option not the 2nd
I apologize for the mistake in numbering. Thank you for pointing that out.
