The rectangles left side is 3 m the rectangles side is 5 m the rectangles bottom 12 m Solve for the surface area of the rectangular prism.
(1 point):
111 square inches
270 square inches
180 square inches
222 square inches
To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, we need to find the area of each of the six sides and then add them all together.
Given that the rectangle has a width of 3m, a height of 5m, and a length of 12m, we can calculate the surface area:
- Front and back sides: 12m * 5m = 60 square meters (2 sides)
- Top and bottom sides: 12m * 3m = 36 square meters (2 sides)
- Left and right sides: 5m * 3m = 15 square meters (2 sides)
Adding all the sides together:
60 + 60 + 36 + 36 + 15 + 15 = 222
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 222 square meters.
So, the correct answer is:
222 square inches
