The formula for the surface area of a right rectangular prism is:
Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Using the given measurements:
l = 4.5 cm
w = 3.5 cm
h = 2.5 cm
Plugging these values into the formula:
Surface area = 2(4.5)(3.5) + 2(4.5)(2.5) + 2(3.5)(2.5)
Surface area = 9 + 22.5 + 17.5
Surface area = 49
Therefore, the surface area of the shape is 49 cm².
