Answer :
Answer:
The total surface area of the rectangular prism that Laura will cover is;
[tex]1,578\text{ }in^2[/tex]Explanation:
Given that the measures of the rectangular prism are;
[tex]\begin{gathered} l=15\text{ in} \\ w=11\text{ in} \\ h=24\text{ in} \end{gathered}[/tex]The total surface area of the rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula;
[tex]SA=2(lw+lh+wh)[/tex]substituting the values;
[tex]\begin{gathered} SA=2(15\times11+15\times24+11\times24) \\ SA=2(165+360+264) \\ SA=2(789) \\ SA=1,578\text{ }in^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the total surface area of the rectangular prism is;
[tex]1,578\text{ }in^2[/tex]
