Bot GPT 3.5 To find the surface area of the rectangular prism, we need to calculate the area of each face and then add them together.
In the net of the rectangular prism, we can see that there are 6 faces:
- 2 faces that are rectangles with dimensions of 4 cm by 3 cm
- 2 faces that are rectangles with dimensions of 4 cm by 2 cm
- 2 faces that are rectangles with dimensions of 3 cm by 2 cm
To calculate the surface area:
Area of the rectangular face with dimensions 4 cm by 3 cm = 4 cm * 3 cm = 12 square cm
Area of the rectangular face with dimensions 4 cm by 2 cm = 4 cm * 2 cm = 8 square cm
Area of the rectangular face with dimensions 3 cm by 2 cm = 3 cm * 2 cm = 6 square cm
Total surface area = 12 + 12 + 8 + 8 + 6 + 6 = 52 square cm
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 52 square cm.
