Answer:
the prism
Explanation:
The surface area of a cube is:
where
L is the length of the side
For the cube in this problem,
L = 6 cm
So the surface area of the cube is
The surface area of a rectangular prism with squared base is:
where
L is the length of the base
h is the height of the prism
For the prism in this problem,
L = 3 cm
h = 12 cm
Therefore,
So, the prism has a greater surface area.
