Answer:

190 cm^2

Explanation:

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:

2 (lw + hl + hw)

Use the formula with the given dimensions of the prism:

2 (5 x 5) + (7 x 5) + (7 x 5)

= 2 (25 + 35 + 35)

= 2 (95)

= 190

So the SA of the rectangular prism is 190 cm^2

Answer:

190cm²

Explanation:

there is 2 types of sides on this. the top and bottom are the same, the front, back, left, and right are the same.

We first calculate the surface area of the top and bottom.

5x5=25

now we multiply that by 2 because the top and bottom are the same

25x2=50

now we look at the remaining 4 sides. the sides on these are 7 and 5 so we do

7×5=35

since we have 4 sides, we multiply the answer by 4

4×35=140

we add the sums together

140+50=190cm²
