The length of a rectangular prism is 12 inches, and its width is 8 inches. The height of the prism is 16 inches. What is the surface area of the rectangular prism? A) 940 inches2 B) 832 inches2 C) 784 inches D) 725 inches2

The answer to your question is letter B

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = 12 in

width = 8 in

height = 16 in

surface area = ?

Formula

Surface area = 2 (length x width) + 2 (length x height) + 2 ((width x height)

Substitution

Surface area = 2 (12 x 8) + 2 (12 x 16) + 2 (8 x 16)

Simplification

Surface area = 256 + 384 + 102

Result

Surface area = 832 in²
