Geomtery 10 How to find the surface area of a rectangular prism

The video tutorial explains how to identify and calculate the lateral surface area of a rectangle. It emphasizes recognizing equal areas, such as the base and top, to simplify calculations. The teacher suggests multiplying the area of one side by two instead of calculating each side separately, saving time and effort. The tutorial encourages understanding the concept to efficiently find the lateral surface area.
