Question

The area of the top of a rectangular prism is 20 cm 2 . The area of the front is 16 cm 2 and the area of one side is 24 cm 2 . What is the surface area of the rectangular prism?

30 cm 2
60 cm 2
120 cm 2
cannot be determined

Answer 1

120

Explanation:

Answer 2

The surface area is given by:
S.A = 2 * (area of the top) + 2 * (area of the front) + 2 * (area of one side)
Substituting values we have:
S.A = 2 * (20) + 2 * (16) + 2 * (24)
S.A = 120 cm ^ 2
Answer:
The surface area of the rectangular prism is:
S.A = 120 cm ^ 2
