How would you determine the surface area of a rectangular prism?

The area of a rectangle is the product of the two sides. One side is the height of the can, the other side is the perimeter of the circle, since the label wraps once around the can. So the area of the rectangle is (2 pi r)* h.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the area of two sides (Length*Height)*2 sides.

2. Find the area of adjacent sides (Width*Height)*2 sides.

3. Find the area of ends (Length*Width)*2 ends.

4. Add the three areas together to find the surface area.

Example: The surface area of a rectangular prism 5 cm long, 3 c
