Question

A student draws the net below to show the dimensions of the container that is shaped like a right rectangular prism. What is the surface area , in square inches of the container?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is;

D) 62 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have from the drawing, the dimensions of the right rectangular prism are;

Height = 2 in.

Width = 5 in

Length = 3 in

Therefore the surface area is found as follows;

Surface area of right rectangular prism = 2 × Height × Width + 2 × Height × Length + 2  × Width × Length

Surface area of right rectangular prism = 2 × 2 × 5 + 2 × 2× 3+ 2  × 5× 3 = 20 + 12 + 30 = 62 in².
