How do you find the surface area for a rectangular prism squared?

To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, you calculate the area of each of its six rectangular faces. The formula is given by ( SA = 2(lw + lh + wh) ), where ( l ) is the length, ( w ) is the width, and ( h ) is the height of the prism. The result represents the total surface area, not squared, as the surface area is already in square units. If you want to express it in squared units, simply ensure your measurements are in consistent units before calculation.
