Since the volume of a rectangular prism is the product of the width, length, and height, 11*3*p=528. Therefore, p=528/(11*3)=16. Now, you can find the surface area. The surface of a rectangular prism is made up of 3 pairs of rectangles. One pair has dimensions of 11 by 3, one pair has dimensions of 16 by 3, and the last pair has dimensions of 16 by 11. The surface area of this figure is therefore:
11, 3, and p act as the length, width, and height of this rectangular prism. We can apply the volume formula length * width * height, and thus made 11 * p * 3 equivalent to the volume 528. Now let us determine the surface area;
