Find the area of the rectangular prism from the net shown.
Numbers 4,8,6,4,4,6
Answer in:cm
The net of the rectangular prism can be divided into two rectangles and two squares.
The dimensions of the rectangles are:
Length = 8 cm, Width = 6 cm
Area of rectangle = Length x Width = 8 cm x 6 cm = 48 cm^2
The dimensions of the squares are:
Side = 4 cm
Area of square = Side x Side = 4 cm x 4 cm = 16 cm^2
The total area of the rectangular prism is:
48 cm^2 (rectangles) + 16 cm^2 (squares) + 16 cm^2 (squares) = 80 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the rectangular prism from the net shown is 80 cm^2.
