Question

follow the steps to find the surface area of the rectangular prism. what is the area of the top and bottom? top and bottom: ? front and back sides total sa: 10 cm 12 cm 7 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Identify dimensions

Let length $l = 12$ cm, width $w=10$ cm, height $h = 7$ cm.

Step2: Calculate area of top - bottom

The area of the top and bottom of a rectangular prism is given by $2\times(l\times w)$. Substitute $l = 12$ cm and $w = 10$ cm. So, $2\times(12\times10)=2\times120 = 240$ $cm^{2}$.

Answer:

$240$ $cm^{2}$
