Question

What is the surface area of the rectangular prism
6 2 3 are the sides

Answer 1

72 units squared

Explanation:

6x2=12

6x2=12

2x3=6

2x3=6

6x3=18

6x3=18

12+12+6+6+18+18=72

Answer 2

72 square units

Explanation:

Surface area of rectangular prism:

l = 6 units

w = 2 units

h = 3 units

Substitute l, w & h in the below mentioned formula:

`\boxed{\text{\bf Surface area of rectangular prism = 2*(lw + wh + hl)}}`

`\sf = 2 *(6*2 + 2*3 + 3*6)\\\\=2* (12 + 6 + 18)\\\\= 2 * 36\\\\= 72 \ square units`
