Hello.

The surface area of a rectangular prism can be found by adding up the areas of all the faces. Additionally, since this is a rectangle, opposite sides will be of the same area, meaning that the surface area of a rectangular prism can be represented with the following equation.


SA=2(hw)+2(lw)+2(hl)

Now let's plug in the dimensions of the rectangular prism.


SA=2(2*6)+2(6*3)+2(2*3)


SA=72

As for the units, the dimensions of the rectangular prism are given in centimeters, so our area will be in centimeters squared, as we are working with area.

Hope this helps!
