Explanation:

The question is incomplete; as the sides of the prism are not given.

To solve tis question, I'll make the following assumptions:


Length (L) = 6 cm


Width (W) = 4 cm


Height (H)= 2 cm

The formula given in the question can be translated to:


SA = 2(W * H + H * L + W * L)

Using the assumed values, we have:


SA = 2(4 * 2 + 2 * 6 + 4 * 6)


SA = 2(8 + 12 + 24)


SA = 2(44)


SA = 88cm^2
