Answer:
The surface area of the rectangular prism is of 22 square millimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of rectangular prism:
The surface area of a rectangular prism with length l, width w and height h is given by:
[tex]S = 2(lw + lh + wh)[/tex]
Length 12 mm, width 3mm and height 5 mm
This means that [tex]l = 12, w = 3, h = 5[/tex]
Surface area:
[tex]S = 2(lw + lh + wh) = 2(12(3) + 12(5) + 3(5)) = 2(36 + 60 + 15) = 2(111) = 222[/tex]
The surface area of the rectangular prism is of 22 square millimeters.
