Answer:

D) 126 in²

Explanation:

A rectangular prism is 3 inches long, 5 inches wide, and has a height of 6 inches. What is its surface area?

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism =

A=2(wl+hl+hw)

Where

W= Width = 5in

H = Height = 6 in

l = Length = 3 in

Surface area =

2(5 × 3 + 6 × 3 + 5 × 6) square inches

2(15 + 18 + 30) square inches

2(63) square inches

= 126 square inches (in²)

Option D is correct
