Question

The base of this right prism is a rectangle. What is the surface area of the prism? Height = 10 ft

Answer 1

Surface area of a rectangular prism formula

`SA=2(wl+hl+hw)`

where w is width, l is length, and h is height.

Substituting with w = 4 ft, l = 6 ft, and h = 10 ft, we get:

`\begin{gathered} SA=2(4\cdot6+10\cdot6+10\cdot4) \\ SA=2(24+60+40) \\ SA=2\cdot124 \\ SA=248\text{ ft}^2 \end{gathered}`
