a rectangle with
height : 6
length: 12
wight : 9
Determine the area of the top of the rectangular prism.
square inches
Determine the area of the side of the rectangular prism.
square inches
Determine the area of the front of the rectangular prism.
square inches
What is the total surface area of the rectangular prism?
square inches
To calculate the different areas of the rectangular prism:
1. Area of the top: 12 x 9 = 108 square inches
2. Area of the side: 6 x 9 = 54 square inches
3. Area of the front: 6 x 12 = 72 square inches
To calculate the total surface area of the rectangular prism, add up the areas of all the sides:
Total surface area = 2(top area) + 2(side area) + 2(front area)
= 2(108) + 2(54) + 2(72)
= 216 + 108 + 144
= 468 square inches
Therefore, the total surface area of the rectangular prism is 468 square inches.
