use the formula for the surface area of a right rectangular prism to find the surface of a shape with the following measurement lenght 4.5 cm, width 3.5 cm, height 2.5 cm
The formula for the surface area of a right rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given:
Length (l) = 4.5 cm
Width (w) = 3.5 cm
Height (h) = 2.5 cm
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
Surface Area = 2(4.5 cm)(3.5 cm) + 2(4.5 cm)(2.5 cm) + 2(3.5 cm)(2.5 cm)
Simplifying, we get:
Surface Area = 31.5 cm² + 22.5 cm² + 17.5 cm²
Surface Area = 71.5 cm²
Therefore, the surface area of the given shape is 71.5 cm².
