what is the surface area of a right retangular prism where each edge lenght measures 15.10 cm^3

1 answer

To find the surface area of a right rectangular prism, we need to calculate the areas of all six faces and then sum them together.

The formula to find the surface area (SA) of a rectangular prism is given by:
SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given that each edge length measures 15.10 cm, we can substitute this value into the formula:
SA = 2(15.10)(15.10) + 2(15.10)(15.10) + 2(15.10)(15.10)

Simplifying the equation:
SA = 2(228.01) + 2(228.01) + 2(228.01)
SA = 456.02 + 456.02 + 456.02
SA = 1368.06 cm^2

Therefore, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 1368.06 cm^2.
