The surface area of a rectangular prism is given by: A = 2 * (x * y) + 2 * (x * z) + 2 * (y * z) where, x, y, z: are the sides of the rectangular prism Substituting values we have: A = 2 * (2 * 8) + 2 * (2 * 11) + 2 * (8 * 11) A = 252 in ^ 2 Answer: The surface area of the prism in square inches is: 252 square inches
