Calculate the surface area of a right rectangular prism. Each edge length is 15 feet
To calculate the surface area of a right rectangular prism, we need to find the areas of all six faces and then sum them up.
A right rectangular prism has three pairs of opposite faces. Each pair consists of a pair of congruent rectangles.
Since each edge length is 15 feet, the dimensions of the prism are:
- Length: 15 feet
- Width: 15 feet
- Height: 15 feet
The surface area of a right rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Substituting the given dimensions:
Surface Area = 2(15)(15) + 2(15)(15) + 2(15)(15)
Surface Area = 450 + 450 + 450
Surface Area = 1350
Therefore, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 1,350 square feet.
