Answer:
1. Top: 18 (cm²)
2. Left: 12 (cm²)
3. Front: 24 (cm²)
4. Bottom: 18 (cm²)
5. Back: 24 (cm²)
6. Right: 12 (cm²)
Surface area: 108 (cm²)
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the surface area of this rectangular prism by using the grid.
We know that in order to find the area of a rectangle, we must multiply the length by the height. Let me make this clearer.
In the grid, the top has a length of 3 centimeters and a height of 6 centimeters. To find the area, we multiply these side lengths.
[tex]3*6=18.[/tex]
Now, we know that the area of the top is 18 centimeters.
Simply find the area of each side, then combine the areas at the end to find the SURFACE area.
[tex]18+12+24+18+24+12=108.[/tex]
