Find the lateral surface area of the rectangular prism represented by the given net
To find the lateral surface area of a rectangular prism, we first need to identify the dimensions of the prism from the net.
In the given net, we see that the rectangle that represents the base of the prism has dimensions of 3 units by 6 units. Therefore, the area of the base is 3*6 = 18 square units.
Next, we need to determine the height of the prism from the net. Looking at the net, we see that the height of the prism is represented by the side of length 4 units. So, the height of the prism is 4 units.
The lateral surface area of a rectangular prism is given by the formula: 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Plugging in the values we have: 2(6*4) + 2(3*4) = 48 + 24 = 72.
Therefore, the lateral surface area of the rectangular prism represented by the given net is 72 square units.
