To find the surface area of the rectangular prism, we need to add up the areas of all 6 rectangles.

1. The area of the first rectangle is 54 square inches.
2. The area of the second rectangle is 24 square inches.
3. The area of the third rectangle is 36 square inches.
4. The area of the fourth rectangle is 24 square inches.
5. The area of the top rectangular base is 54 square inches.
6. The area of the bottom rectangular base is 54 square inches.

Adding these areas together:

54 + 24 + 36 + 24 + 54 + 54 = 246 square inches

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 246 square inches.
