Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow. Find the surface area of the rectangular prism. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. A. 157.89 cm^2 B. 306.95 cm^2 C. 346.16 cm^2 D. 347.45 cm^2

Answer: OPTION D
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you must apply the formula for calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism:
[tex]SA=2(wh+lw+lh)[/tex]
Where w is the width, h is the heigh and l is the lenght.
Based on the rectangular prism shown, you have that:
[tex]w=9.08cm\\h=3.23cm\\l=11.73cm[/tex]
Finally when you substitute values into the formula you obtain the following result:
[tex]SA=2[(9.08cm*3.23cm)+(11.73cm*9.08cm)+(11.73cm*3.23cm)]=347.45cm^2[/tex]
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area is the area of all the surfaces, together.
A rectangular prism has 6 rectangular surfaces. We need to add those 6 faces and sum it.
Area = 2 ( 3.23 * 9.08 ) = 58.6568
Area = 2 ( 3.23 * 11.73 ) = 75.7758
Area = 2 ( 11.73 * 9.08 ) = 213.0168
Summing all of them up,
Surface area of Rectangular Prism = 58.6568 + 75.7758 + 213.0168
=347.4494
* Rounding to nearest hundredth, 347.45 cm ^2
