Option b) 78 m² is the correct answer for the total surface area of the rectangular prism depicted in the image.
Based on the image you sent, which shows a drawing of a rectangular prism with measurements, the total surface area is 78 m².
1. Identify the individual surfaces and their dimensions:
- Top and bottom faces: 4 m x 6 m each
- Side faces: 3.5 m x 2 m each
2. Calculate the area of each surface:
- Top/bottom: 4 m × 6 m = 24 m² each
- Side: 3.5 m × 2 m = 7 m² each
3. Add the areas of all surfaces:
- 24 m² (top) + 24 m² (bottom) + 2 * 7 m² (sides) = 78 m²
