The surface area of a rectangular prism can be found by adding the area of all sides together. To start, we will have to find the dimensions for the new prism, which is 5 * 6 * 8.
Then, we will have to find the area for each side. One of the sides will have 8*6, another 8*5, and the last 5*6. We will then have 48, 40, and 30. Multiply them all by 2 and add them all together. You will receive the final answer of 236 square inches.
