Your welcome I risk my grade for this
To determine the surface area of the rectangular prism:
1. The area of the top of the rectangular prism is 6 square inches.
2. The area of one side of the rectangular prism is 10 square inches.
3. The area of the front of the rectangular prism is 4 square inches.
To find the total surface area, add the areas of all the faces of the rectangular prism:
Total Surface Area = 2*(area of the top) + 2*(area of the side) + 2*(area of the front)
Total Surface Area = 2*(6) + 2*(10) + 2*(4)
Total Surface Area = 12 + 20 + 8
Total Surface Area = 40 square inches
Therefore, the total surface area of the rectangular prism is 40 square inches.
