[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the surface area of the rectangular prism, we need to find the area of all six faces and add them together.

The area of the top and bottom faces: 10 inches x 9 inches = 90 square inches
The area of the front and back faces: 10 inches x 3 inches = 30 square inches (each)
The area of the right and left faces: 9 inches x 3 inches = 27 square inches (each)

Adding all the areas together:
90 + 90 + 30 + 30 + 27 + 27 = 294 square inches

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 294 square inches.
