base = 4.5m

height = 4 m
what is the surface area of the rectangular prism?

To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, we can use the formula:

Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given:
Base = 4.5m
Height = 4m

Plugging in the values into the formula:
Surface area = 2(4.5)(4) + 2(4.5)(4) + 2(4)(4)
Surface area = 36 + 36 + 32
Surface area = 72 + 32
Surface area = 104 square meters

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 104 square meters.
