Question

Janice makes a box in the shape of the rectangular prism. Show your work and explain how you solved using first, next & last. What is the surface area of the box

Answer 1

Answer:

The surface area is $376in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula;

$S.A=2[lw+lh+wh]$

The length of the rectangular prism is $l=10in$

The height is $h=6in$

The width is $w=8in$

The surface area

$S.A=2[10(8)+10(6)+8(6)]$

$S.A=2[80+60+48]$

$S.A=2(188)$

$S.A=376in^2$
