Answer 1

Step 1: Write out the formula

`\text{area of a rectangle = length }*\text{ width}`

Step 2: Draw the net of the rectangular prism.

Step 3: Calculate the area of each rectangle

`\text{Area of rectangle A = }5*3=15`
`\text{Area of rectangle B = }5*4=20`
`\text{Area of rectangle C = 3}*4=12`
`\text{Area of rectangle D = }5*4=20`
`\text{Area of rectangle E = }5*3=15`
`\text{Area of rectangle F = }4*3=12`

Step 4: Add these values together

`\text{the total surface area = }15+20+12+20+15+12=94\text{ square units}`

the total surface area = 94 square units
