On the surface area of a rectangular prism with a height of 3.1 CM a length of 7.4 cm and a width of 5 cm
The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated by adding up the areas of all the individual faces.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given:
- Height = 3.1 cm
- Length = 7.4 cm
- Width = 5 cm
Plugging these values into the formula:
2(7.4)(5) + 2(7.4)(3.1) + 2(5)(3.1)
= 74 + 45.88 + 31
= 150.88
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 150.88 square cm.
