To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, we need to find the total area of all six faces.
Let's say the rectangular prism has dimensions:
Length = 5 units
Width = 3 units
Height = 4 units
To find the surface area, we can use the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Substitute the given dimensions into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(5)(3) + 2(5)(4) + 2(3)(4)
Surface Area = 30 + 40 + 24
Surface Area = 94 units
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 94 square units.
