If L = 24 mm, W = 8 mm, and H = 32 mm, what is the surface area of the prism?
To find the surface area of the prism, we need to find the area of all six faces and then add them together.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
S.A. = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given that L = 24 mm, W = 8 mm, and H = 32 mm:
S.A. = 2(24)(8) + 2(24)(32) + 2(8)(32)
S.A. = 384 + 1536 + 512
S.A. = 2432 mm²
Therefore, the surface area of the prism is 2432 mm².
