For surface area of a rectangular prism, the formula is: 2(wl+lh+wh) In words: just multiply the width and the length Then multiply the length and the height Then multiply the width and the height. After that add them all together. Then with that final added number, multiply it by two Does that make sense? Sorry I'm really confusing
