Answer:

S.A=792 ft²

Explanation:

The surface area of this prism is given by
2wl+2lh+2hw where h is the height,l is the length and w is the width

Given: l=15", w=12" and h=8"


Finding area of rectangle surfaces

A1=2(lxw)=2(15×12)=360 ft²

A2=2(l×h)=2(15×8) =240ft²

A3=2( h×w)=2(8×12) =192ft²

Total surface area

A1 +A2+A3

360+240+192

S.A=792 ft²
