what is the surface area of a rectangular prisim with a base length of 9 yd, base width of 7 yd, and a height of 4 yd?

Answer:254 yds

254 yds²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 faces of the prism we need to calculate the area of for a rectangular prism.

The base and top of the prism measure 9x7 yards each, so there are two faces with an area of 63 yds² (9 x 7 = 63)

The sides of the prism measure 4x7 yards each, so there are two faces with an area of 28 yds² (4 x 7 = 28)

The front and back face of the prism measure 9x4 yards each, so there are two faces with an area of 36 yds² (9 x 4 = 36)

The total surface area is

2 (63) + 2 (28) + 2 (36) = 254 yds²
