Answer: 180

Step-by-step explanation: You first have to find the surface area of each face of the rectangular prism. So, we can multiply 8 and 6 to find the largest face, 8 and 3 to find the second largest face, and 6 and 3 to find the smallest face. We also know that there are two of each face.

8*6=48

8*3=24

6*3=18

Now we can either double everything now or add everything and then double it.

48*2=96

24*2=48

18*2=32

96+48+32=180

or we can do it this way:

48+24+18=90

90*2=180
