Question

what is the surface area of a rectangular prism that has a height of 5cm a width of 10cm and a depth of 4cm

Answer 1

2(5*10)+2(10*4)+2(5*4)=

2(50)+2(40)+2(20)=100+80+40=

220 cm^2

I found the answer by finding the areas of the 3 different sides, multiplying each area by 2 since each side has another side that is equal on a rectangular prism, then adding all of them together.
