A net of a rectangular prism is shown below 4 4 6 what is the surface are in square feet of the rectangular prism
To calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism, we need to find the area of each of the six faces (top, bottom, front, back, left side, and right side) and then sum them together.
From the given net, we can see that the length is 4 feet, the width is 4 feet, and the height is 6 feet.
Starting with the top and bottom face, we can see that each one has a length of 4 feet and a width of 4 feet. Therefore, the area of each face is 4 * 4 = 16 square feet.
Moving on to the front and back faces, we see that each one has a length of 4 feet and a height of 6 feet. Hence, the area of each of these faces is 4 * 6 = 24 square feet.
Finally, looking at the left and right side faces, we note that each one has a width of 4 feet and a height of 6 feet. Thus, the area of each face is 4 * 6 = 24 square feet.
To find the total surface area, we add together the areas of all six faces:
16 + 16 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24 = 128
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 128 square feet.
