Answer:
[tex]A=988\ \text{feet}^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The height, width and the thickness of a rectangular prism are 17 feet, 12 feet and 10 feet.
We need to find the area of a rectangular prism. The formula for the ara of rectangular prism is given by :
[tex]A=2(lb+bh+hl)[/tex]
Substitute all the values,
[tex]A=2(17\times 12+12\times 10+10\times 17)\\\\A=2\times 494\\\\A=988\ \text{feet}^2[/tex]
So, the area of the rectangular prism is equal to [tex]988\ \text{feet}^2[/tex].
