Answer:
132 square millimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
THe <u>lateral area</u> of a rectangular prism is the side areas. That is
all 4 sides of the rectangular prism (that are rectangles each).
So, we find each side area and add them up.
The area of a rectangle is:
Area = length * width
The left side (in gray) is 9 mm x 3mm, so area:
area = 9 * 3 = 27
The right side rectangle is same, so that would have an area of:
area = 9 * 3 = 27
Now, the front side's measurement is 3 x 13, so the area is:
Area = 3 * 13 = 39
THe back is same, so the area would be:
Area = 3 * 13 = 39
<u>Total Surface Area = 27 + 27 + 39 + 39 = 132 square millimeters</u>
