a rectangular prism is shown below. which diagram is a net for this prism? what is the surface area of the…

Explanation:

Step1: Recall surface - area formula

The surface - area formula for a rectangular prism is $SA = 2(lw+lh + wh)$, where $l$ is the length, $w$ is the width, and $h$ is the height. Here, $l = 16$ in, $w = 16$ in, and $h = 5$ in.

Step2: Calculate $lw$

$lw=16\times16 = 256$ square inches.

Step3: Calculate $lh$

$lh = 16\times5=80$ square inches.

Step4: Calculate $wh$

$wh = 16\times5 = 80$ square inches.

Step5: Substitute into formula

$SA=2(256 + 80+80)$ $SA=2(416)$ $SA = 832$ square inches.

Answer:

832
