    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A rectangular prism has four surfaces that each has an area of 8 ft² and two sides that have an area of 12 ft². What is the total surface area?

    Correct Answer(s)
    56 square feet
    56
    56 feet squared
    Explanation
    The total surface area of a rectangular prism is found by adding up the areas of all its surfaces. In this case, there are four surfaces with an area of 8 ft² each, and two surfaces with an area of 12 ft² each. To find the total surface area, we add up these areas: 4 * 8 ft² + 2 * 12 ft² = 32 ft² + 24 ft² = 56 ft². Therefore, the correct answer is 56 square feet.
