Answer 2

Area of rectangular prism is given by:

A=2(wl+hl+lw)

where w=width h=height, l=length

checking for given options

1. 8 ft, by 4ft by 3ft

Area = 136 square feet

5. 3 feet by 5 feet by 7 feet

Area =142 square feet

so our first and last option matches the requirement of area less than 160 square feet.
