Explanation:
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is SA = 2(lw) + 2(wh) + 2(lh), where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Given:
l = 2.8 yards
w = 1.19 yards
h = 6 yards
Plugging in the values:
SA = 2(2.8 * 1.19) + 2(1.19 * 6) + 2(2.8 * 6)
Simplifying and converting units to square yards:
SA = 2(3.32) + 2(7.14) + 2(16.8)
SA = 6.64 + 14.28 + 33.6
SA = 54.52 square yards.
The surface area of the rectangular prism is 54.52 square yards.
