Given:

The dimensions of the rectangular prism :

length(l)= 5 in

width (w) = 2 in

height (h) = 3 in

The formula for the lateral surface area L.A of a rectangular prism is:


L.A\text{ = 2\lparen l + w\rparen h}

Substituting the given values into the formula:


\begin{gathered} L.A\text{ = 2}*\text{ \lparen5 + 2\rparen }*\text{ 3} \\ =\text{ 42 in}^2 \end{gathered}
