70cm2 Now there are 2 rectangles that each have an area of 70 sq. cm.
We should use a table to tabulate the various areas. Side Area Number of Sides Total Area RED 2 BLUE GREEN TOTAL 70cm2 70cm2
Now we just need to add all the areas of the sides together. + 70cm2 28cm2 40cm2
The total Surface Area for this rectangular prism is 40 + 40 + 28 + 28 + 70 + 70 = 276cm2
We should use a table to tabulate the various areas. Side Area Number of Sides Total Area RED 2 BLUE GREEN TOTAL 6
