Question

Use the net to find the surface area of the rectangular prism.

Answer 1

The calculated surface area of the net is 208 square units

Finding the surface area of the net

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The net of the prism

The surface area of the net is then calculated as

Surface area = Area of big rectangle + 2 * Area of small rectangle

So, we have

Surface area = (14 + 3 + 14) * 4 + 2 * 3 * 14

Evaluate

Surface area = 208

Hence, the surface area of the net is 208 square units

Answer 2

220

Explanation:

The surface area is given by

SA = 2 ( lw+wh+lh) where l is length h is height and w is width

SA = 2(3*4 + 3*14+ 4*14)

= 2(12+42+56)

= 2(110)

= 220
