SURFACE AREA OF RECTANGULAR PRISMS

Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh), where l = length, w = width, h = height.

A rectangular prism has 6 faces.

The unit of measurement for surface area is square units (e.g., square inches, square centimeters).

Surface Area = 2(5*4 + 5*3 + 4*3) = 2(20 + 15 + 12) = 2(47) = 94 square inches.

Total surface area is the sum of the areas of all the faces of a three-dimensional shape.

Possible dimensions could be 4 in. x 4 in. x 3 in. (or other combinations that satisfy the surface area formula).

The surface area increases as the dimensions (length, width, height) increase.

Surface Area = 2(2*3 + 2*4 + 3*4) = 2(6 + 8 + 12) = 2(26) = 52 cm².

Yes, different sets of dimensions can yield the same surface area.

Surface Area = 6 * (side length)² = 6 * (3)² = 6 * 9 = 54 square inches.
