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

In this case, the dimensions are:
l = 3 ft, w = 3 ft, h = 20 ft

Plugging these values into the formula:
2(3 * 3) + 2(3 * 20) + 2(3 * 20) = 2(9) + 2(60) + 2(60) = 18 + 120 + 120 = 258 ft^2

Therefore, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 258 ft^2.

The correct answer is: 258 ft.2
