Question

What is the surface area of this right rectangular prIsm?

Answer 1

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle we multiply two edges together.

since we are looking for the surface area we are actually going to be finding 6 different areas and adding them together (since there are 6 sides to a rectangle)

ok so sides 1 and 2, the edges on the left and right will be equal, and then the four sides in the middle are all going to be equal

2(1x2) + 4(3x2) = 4 + 24 = 28

Answer 2

28 in



As 3 x 2 = 6
6 x 4 = 24
24 + (2 x 2) = 28 in
