Since A=l*w*h,

A=4.5*7.25*6.5
A=212.0625

A=212.0 feet squared is the answer.

Answer: 152.75 square feet will be painted.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of prism = 4.5 feet

Width of prism = 7.25 feet

Height of prism = 6.5 feet

As we know that the base of prism is rectangle.

So, Area of rectangular prism is given by

Perimeter of base × height


=2(l+b)* h\\\\=2(4.5+7.25)* 6.5\\\\=152.75\ ft^2

Hence, 152.75 square feet will be painted.
