Question

what is the surface area, in square feet, of the rectangular prism 5ft, 5ft, 6ft

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

Given that the length (l) is 5ft, width (w) is 5ft, and height (h) is 6ft, we can substitute these values into the formula to find the surface area:

Surface area = 2(5)(5) + 2(5)(6) + 2(5)(6)
Surface area = 50 + 60 + 60
Surface area = 170 square feet

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 170 square feet.
