Answer:
75cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
When you say a rectangular prism, it means it has the base has 4 sides of which opposite sides are equal as a rectangle. This sides substends so we have a total of 6 surfaces in this prism.
This 6 surfaces has 3 surface area the same.
The surface area = sum of area of all faces.
325= 50 + 50 + 37.5 + 37.5 + 2x; where X is the area of the surface unknown.
325= 100+ 75 + 2x
325-175= 150
150= 2x
X= 150/ 2 = 75 cm^2
