The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated by finding the area of each of its six faces and adding them together.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given the dimensions:
Length = 7 inches (l)
Width = 3 inches (w)
Height = 5 inches (h)
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Surface Area = 2(7)(3) + 2(7)(5) + 2(3)(5)
Surface Area = 42 + 70 + 30
Surface Area = 142 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 142 square inches.
