Answer:

The surface area of the rectangular prism.

Explanation:

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is SA = 2 (wl + hl + hw), which actually represents the areas of each of the faces.

SA = 2wl + 2hl + 2hw

We see that the SA is the sum of the areas of the faces on a rectangular prism. Look at a picture of a rectangular prism if you have trouble understanding this.
