Justify the formula, and find the surface area of the right rectanglar prism using nets or decomposition.
The numbers are, 2 ft., 3 ft., and 8ft.
A. 72 square feet
B. 36 square feet
C. 72 feet
D. 48 cubic feet
First, let's calculate the surface area of the right rectangular prism.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2(lw + wh + lh), where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Given the dimensions of the prism are 2 ft, 3 ft, and 8 ft, we can plug these values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(2*3 + 3*8 + 8*2)
Surface Area = 2(6 + 24 + 16)
Surface Area = 2(46)
Surface Area = 92 square feet
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the options provided. The surface area of the right rectangular prism is 92 square feet.
