Answer :

Answer:

  62 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the surface area of a rectangular prism 3 units high, 2 units wide, and 5 units long.

Area

The surface area of a rectangular prism is given by the formula ...

  SA = 2(LW +H(L +W))

Application

Using the given dimensions, L=5, W=2, H=3, the area is ...

  SA = 2(5·2 +3(5 +2)) = 2(10 +3(7)) = 2(31)

  SA = 62 . . . square units

The surface area of the prism is 62 square units.
