Question

Find the surface area of this rectangular prism. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

190 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we need to find which equation we're using and since it's a rectangular prism we're going to use:

2Lw + 2wh + 2Lh

Now what we need to do is plug in the values

2*9*2 + 2*2*7 + 2*9*7

Now just multiply everything and then add it together.

36 + 28 + 126

Once you add everything together you get:

190

The question says to include the correct unit. It says that its feet, but we need to know if its feet squared (^2) or cubed (^3)

If it were area of the whole object, it would be cubed because it is all the area that the object takes up but since it's just the area of the surface it's going to be squared. Therefore, the answer is:

190 ft^2
