Use the formula to determine the surface area of a right rectangular prism where each edge length measures 12.75 cm
The formula to determine the surface area of a right rectangular prism is given by:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
where l, w, and h represent the length, width, and height of the prism, respectively.
Given that each edge length measures 12.75 cm, we can assume that the length (l), width (w), and height (h) of the prism are all equal to 12.75 cm.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Surface Area = 2(12.75)(12.75) + 2(12.75)(12.75) + 2(12.75)(12.75)
= 2 * (12.75)^2 + 2 * (12.75)^2 + 2 * (12.75)^2
= 2 * 162.5625 + 2 * 162.5625 + 2 * 162.5625
= 650.25 + 650.25 + 650.25
= 1950.75
Therefore, the surface area of a right rectangular prism with each edge length measuring 12.75 cm is 1950.75 square centimeters.
