Question

I need to find the surface area for this one pls help me

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

so, you got the volume but don't know how to find the surface area ? that is strange for me. what's the problem ?

the surface of a cube or rectangular prism consists of 6 sides that split (for a rectangular prism) into 3 pairs of equal sides :

top and bottom

left and right

front and back

all we need to do is calculate the areas of these 6 rectangles and add them up. that's it.

in our case

top and bottom : 5×4 × 2 = 20×2 = 40 in²

left and right : 4×4 × 2 = 16×2 = 32 in²

front and back : 5×4 × 2 = 40 in²

so, in total, the whole surface area of the prism is

40 + 32 + 40 = 112 in²
