How do i find the surface area of a rectangular prism

 (a, b, and c are the lengths of the 3 sides)

In words, the surface area of a rectangular prism is the area of the six rectangles that cover it. But we don't have to figure out all six because we know that the top and bottom are the same, the front and back are the same, and the left and right sides are the same.

The area of the top and bottom (side lengths a and c) = a*c. Since there are two of them, you get 2ac. The front and back have side lengths of b and c. The area of one of them is b*c, and there are two of them, so the surface area of those two is 2bc. The left and right side have side lengths of a and b, so the surface area of one of them is a*b. Again, there are two of them, so their combined surface area is 2ab.

answer: since the question is talking about growth you have to use the growth formula which is inital amount (1 + growth)^time

step-by-step explanation:

the intial amount is 1200, the growth is 4.8, and the time is 7. plug those numbers into the equation, also i think you have to change 4.8 into a percent. but, i have forgotton how to do that. if this is a online class go on to the lesson.

ou would have 12 of each
