The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2ab + 2bc + 2ac = Surface Area.

We have 3 values: 18.5, 12, and 6. We can assign each of these values a letter. So, lets use a=6, b=18.5, and c=12. Now, all we need to do is plug the values for each letter into our equation:

2(6)(18.5) + 2(18.5)(12) + 2(6)(12) = Surface Area. ----->

222 + 444 + 144 = Surface Area ----->

810 = Surface Area

So, the surface area of your prism is 810.
