A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw

W=width
L=length
H=height

When there close together like that you multiply

So A would be 392

A=392

Answer:


S = 392\ in^2

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine important information

Using the given numbers it doesn't really matter which is which because the equation multiplies everything together.

Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism →
S= 2(wl+hl+hw)

Step 2: Plug in the values and solve


S = 2((5\ in * 12\ in) + (8\ in * 12\ in) + (8\ in * 5\ in))


S=2(60\ in^2 + 96\ in^2 + 40\ in^2)


S = 2(196\ in^2)


S = 392\ in^2

Answer:
S = 392\ in^2
