    A rectangular prism with a length of 14 inches, a width of 4 inches, and height of 6 inches is shown below, along with it's net.  What is the surface area of the prism? - ProProfs

    A rectangular prism with a length of 14 inches, a width of 4 inches, and height of 6 inches is shown below, along with it's net.  What is the surface area of the prism?

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    The surface area of a rectangular prism can be found by adding up the areas of all six faces. In this case, the prism has two identical rectangular faces with dimensions 14 inches by 4 inches, two identical rectangular faces with dimensions 14 inches by 6 inches, and two identical rectangular faces with dimensions 4 inches by 6 inches. To find the surface area, we can calculate the area of each face and then add them all together. The area of each face is found by multiplying the length and width of the face. Therefore, the surface area of the prism is (14x4) + (14x4) + (14x6) + (14x6) + (4x6) + (4x6) = 280 + 280 + 84 + 84 + 24 + 24 = 776 square inches.
