The surface area consists of the area of two rectangles whose dimension 5 × 4, area of two rectangles whose dimension 5 × 7, and area of two rectangles whose dimension 4 × 7.
Find the surface area sa = (2 × l × w) + (2 × l × h) + (2 × w × h) sa = (2 × 5 × 4) + (2 × 5 × 7) + (2 × 4 × 7) sa = 40 + 70 + 56 sa = 166 The surface area of the rectangular prism is 166 cm²
