Answer:

The surface area of the right prism is 387 cm^2

Explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the surface area of the right rectangular prism.

To calculate this surface area, what we need to do is to use the mathematical formula used to find it.

Mathematically, the surface area of a right pyramid = 2(wl + lh + hw)

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

since the measurements are not specified in the question, we take each, one at a time to represent the length, width and height.

A = 2((6.5)(14) + (6.5)(5) + (14)(5))

A = 2(91 + 32.5 + 70)

A = 2( 193.5)

A = 387 cm^2
