Use the formula to determine the surface area of a right rectangular prism where each edge length measures 12.75cm.
The formula to determine the surface area of a right rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
In this case, each edge length measures 12.75 cm, so we can substitute this value into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(12.75)(12.75) + 2(12.75)(12.75) + 2(12.75)(12.75)
Simplifying this expression, we get:
Surface Area = 2(162.5625) + 2(162.5625) + 2(162.5625)
= 325.125 + 325.125 + 325.125
= 975.375
Thus, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 975.375 cm².
