The correct answer is 138 cm². To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, you need to calculate the area of each face separately and then add them together.
The formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the prism. In this case, from the net, we can see that the length and width are both 6 cm and the height is 7 cm.
Plugging these values into the formula:
2(6)(6) + 2(6)(7) + 2(6)(7)
= 72 + 84 + 84
= 138 cm²
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 138 cm².
