Answer:

75cm^2

Explanation:

When you say a rectangular prism, it means it has the base has 4 sides of which opposite sides are equal as a rectangle. This sides substends so we have a total of 6 surfaces in this prism.

This 6 surfaces has 3 surface area the same.

The surface area = sum of area of all faces.

325= 50 + 50 + 37.5 + 37.5 + 2x; where X is the area of the surface unknown.

325= 100+ 75 + 2x

325-175= 150

150= 2x

X= 150/ 2 = 75 cm^2
