The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given that two of the sides of the rectangle are 15 inches by 6 inches and the other two sides are 8 inches by 6 inches, we can plug these values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(15*6) + 2(15*8) + 2(8*6)
Surface Area = 2(90) + 2(120) + 2(48)
Surface Area = 180 + 240 + 96
Surface Area = 516 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 516 square inches. None of the provided options are correct.
