Answer:
[tex]286ft^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangular prism has a total surface area given by
[tex]T.S.A=2(lw+lh+wh)[/tex]
where [tex]l=5ft,w=9ft,h=7ft[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula to get;
[tex]T.S.A=2(5\times9+5\times 7+9\times 7)[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]T.S.A=2(143)[/tex]
[tex]T.S.A=286ft^2[/tex]
Answer:
The correct answer option is 286 feet^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a rectangular prism with the length of 5 feet, width of 9 feet and a height of 7 feet.
We know that the formula of the surface area of a rectangular prism is given by:
Surface area of rectangular prism = 2 ( wl + hl + hw )
Substituting the given values in the formula to get:
Surface area of prism = 2 {(9 * 5) + (7 * 5) + (7 * 9)} = 286 feet^2
