Arectangle prism has the dimensions 8 feet by 3 feet by 5 feet. what is the surface area of the prism

158 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a prism is found using the following formula: SA = 2(lh+lb+bh). This formula takes the area of each face (6 in total( and adds them together to find a total sum. Substitute l = 8, b = 3 and h = 5 to solve for the surface area.

SA = 2(lh+lb+bh)

SA = 2(8*5+8*3+3*5)

SA = 2(40 + 24 + 15)

SA = 2(79)

SA = 158

the answer is 3/5

step-by-step explanation:

first divide 24 divided by 8 because that is the least common multiple

then divide 40 by 8

then you will get 3/5.
