Surface area of rectangular prism is \(2\times (length \times height + height \times width + length \times width)\)

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

hartnn (hartnn):

exactly! i have just written the formula to do that. there will be 6 rectangular faces.

hartnn (hartnn):

2 faces with areas \(2\times 3\) each. 2 faces with areas \(2\times 4\) each. 2 faces with areas \(4\times 3\) each.
