Question 1137516: A rectangular prism-shaped wooden board has a length of 48 inches, a width of 4 inches and a height of 2 inches. A carpenter wants to cover the entire board in a stain.
How much total area will be covered by stain? Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
For a rectangular prism with dimensions L, W an H, its surface area is 2*(L*W + L*H + W*H).
In this case, surface area = 2*(48*4 + 48*2 + 4*2) square inches.
Calculate the answer on your own.
