Here is a rectangular prism. What is the surface area of the prism? What is the volume of the prism

69.6 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

You do:

2.4 x 1.5 =3.6

2.4 x 8 = 19.2

1.5 x 8 = 12

Add them up together.  Remember that surface area is the sum of all of the sides of a shape.  The equations above represent the surface area for each individual side. This adds up to 3 sides because there are three equations. If we add them up together, we get

3.6 + 19.2 + 12 = 34.8

Since a rectangular prism has 6 sides, 34.8 only covers 3 sides. We can multiply by 2 to get the surface area of all the sides.  We can do this because there are always 2 sides that correspond to each other on a rectangular prism.

34.8 x 2  = 69.6 square inches as the surface area

To find volume, you multiply all of the sides together.

1.5 x 8 x 2.4 = 28.8 cubed inches
