You can use the following formula to calculate the surface area of the right rectangular prism:


\sf SA=2(wl+lh+hw)

Where "w" is the width, "l" is the length, and "h" is the height.

Knowing that this right rectangular prism has a length of 8 centimeters, a width of 3 centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters, you can substitute these values into the formula.

Then, the surface of the right rectangular prism is:


\sf SA=[(3 \ cm* 8 \ cm)+( 8 \ cm* 5 \ cm)+(5 \ cm*3 \ cm)]


\Rightarrow\sf SA=158 \ cm^2
