Use the image to answer the question.An illustration shows a rectangular prism with length 10 inches, width 9 inches, and height 3 inches. The top, front, and right faces are visible. The edges that are not visible are represented by dashed lines.What is the surface area of the rectangular prism?(1 point) square inches
The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated by finding the area of each face and adding them together.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Plugging in the values:
Surface Area = 2(10*9) + 2(10*3) + 2(9*3)
Surface Area = 2(90) + 2(30) + 2(27)
Surface Area = 180 + 60 + 54
Surface Area = 294
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 294 square inches.
