Question

The dimensions of a rectangular prism are 24 ft x 20 ft x 15 ft. What is the surface area

Answer 1

2280 ft^2

Explanation:

A rectangular prism has 6 faces. Each pair of opposite faces is congruent.

surface area = 2LW + 2LH + 2WH

surface area = 2(24 ft)(20 ft) + 2(24 ft)(15 ft) + 2(20 ft)(15 ft)

surface area = 960 ft^2 + 720 ft^2 + 600 ft^2

surface area = 2280 ft^2
