Use the formula for the surface area of a right rectangular prism to find the surface area of a shape with the following measurements: length = 4.5 cm, width = 3.5 cm, and height = 2.5 cm
The formula for the surface area of a right rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Using the given measurements, we can substitute the values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(4.5 cm)(3.5 cm) + 2(4.5 cm)(2.5 cm) + 2(3.5 cm)(2.5 cm)
Surface Area = 31.5 cm² + 22.5 cm² + 17.5 cm²
Surface Area = 71.5 cm²
