[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, you need to find the area of each face and then add them together.

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given:
Length (l) = 12 in
Width (w) = 5 in
Height (h) = 3 in

Substitute these values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(12)(5) + 2(12)(3) + 2(5)(3)
Surface Area = 120 + 72 + 30
Surface Area = 222 in^2

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 222 square inches.
