Answer:

684sq in

Explanation:

The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated by adding up the areas of all six faces. If the dimensions of the prism are 6 inches, 15 inches, and 12 inches, then the surface area can be calculated as follows:

2(lw + lh + wh)

where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

Substituting the given values, we get:

2(6 * 15 + 6 * 12 + 15 * 12)

= 2(90 + 72 + 180)

= 2(342)

= 684 square inches

So, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 684 square inches.
