I rectangular prism with a square base has a high of 7 inches the base of the prism can be completely covered with no overlap by 16 squares that each have a edge length of 1 inch what is the total surface area of the rectangular prism

144 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface area of the rectangular prism =  Sum of all the area of its sides

Since it has a square base which can be covered by 16 squares of length 1 inch each, then;

length of its base = 4 inches

So that,

i. Area of its base =

                          =

area of its base = 16 square inches

ii. Area of one of the surfaces of its sides = length x width (or base x height)

                                       = 4 x 7

                                       = 28 square inches

Sum of the area of its vertical sides = 4 x 28

                                        = 112 square inches

Thus,

Total surface area of the prism = 16 + 16 + 112

                                          = 144 square inches

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
