To find the surface area of the rectangular prism, we need to add up the areas of all six faces.
The net shows that the dimensions of the rectangular prism are:
Length = 6 in
Width = 4 in
Height = 5 in
The surface area formula for a rectangular prism is:
2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Plugging in the values:
Surface Area = 2(6*4) + 2(6*5) + 2(4*5)
Surface Area = 2(24) + 2(30) + 2(20)
Surface Area = 48 + 60 + 40
Surface Area = 148 in^2
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 148 in^2.
