Answer 4

I dont understand. what do I plug in ? @Jhannybean

Answer 5

Surface area of Right prism

\[\large 2(w\cdot l) + 2(w\cdot h) + 2(l\cdot h) = 2[(w\cdot l) + (w\cdot h) + (l\cdot h)]\]\[\large l = 6 \ m \ \ , \ w = 2 \ m \ , \ h=5 \ m \] plug all these values in for the simplified equation and you will find your surface area :)
