Question

Find the surface area please!

Answer 1

158 in²

Explanation:

First we can write the equation to find the surface area of a rectangular prism
`A = 2(w*l+h*l+h*w)`

Now rewrite filling in variables

`A = 2(3*5+8*5+8*3)`

Solve. Keep in mind the order of operations

After solving, you should get 158.

Since these measurements were done in inches, we need to add inches/in to the end.

Also, since it is area, we need to add ²

158 in²
