What is the surface area of the rectangular prism?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the calculation of the surface area of a rectangular prism. To solve this, we need to know the dimensions (length, width, height) of the prism and then apply the formula for the surface area, which is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is length, w is width, and h is height.

Answer

The final answer depends on the specific dimensions provided.

The final answer depends on the specific dimensions provided.

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify dimensions of the rectangular prism

Identify the length ( extit{l}), width ( extit{w}), and height ( extit{h}) of the rectangular prism.

  1. Write down the surface area formula

The formula for the surface area ( extit{SA}) of a rectangular prism is: $$ SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh $$

  1. Substitute the dimensions into the formula

Plug in the values for extit{l}, extit{w}, and extit{h} into the formula.

  1. Calculate each term and sum them up

Calculate each product inside the equation, then add the results to get the total surface area.

$$ SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh $$

The final answer depends on the specific dimensions provided.

More Information

The surface area calculation helps in real-life applications such as determining the amount of material required to cover the prism.

Tips

Make sure to use the same units for all dimensions to avoid conversion errors.
