Find the surface area of the rectangular prism with the following dimensions: 
length = 9 m
height = 10 m
width = 12 m

• 630 m squared

• 636 m squared

• 710 m squared

• 1080 m squared

Answer explanation

To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, use the formula 2lw + 2lh + 2wh. Substituting the given values, we get 2(9)(10) + 2(9)(12) + 2(10)(12) = 636 m squared.

Find the lateral surface area of the figure shown.

• 672 cm²

• 480 cm²

• 576 cm²

• 864 cm²

Answer explanation

To find the lateral surface area, calculate the perimeter of the base (2(8+10)) and multiply by the slant height (24). So, 2(8+10) * 24 = 480 cm^2.
