Use the formula to determine the surface area of a rectangular prism where each edge length measures 12.75 cm
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given that each edge length of the rectangular prism measures 12.75 cm, we can substitute this value into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(12.75)(12.75) + 2(12.75)(12.75) + 2(12.75)(12.75)
Simplifying, we get:
Surface Area = 323.625 + 323.625 + 323.625
Surface Area = 970.875 cm²
