Sagot :

In order to find surface area, you must add up all the area of the sides. On a rectangular prism, there are six sides. However, there are three pairs of identical sides. The sides are: 6x4, 6x7, and 4x7. So you must add them up: 24+42+28=?. Then you must multiply it by two: ? x 2. Then you have the answer.
