Given the dimension of rectangular prism are:
Length = L = 15.5 m
Width = W = 16.5 m
Height = H = 4.5 m
The surface area of the rectangular prism =
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2LW+2(L+W)\cdot H \\ =2\cdot15.5\cdot16.5+2\cdot(15.5+16.5)\cdot4.5 \\ =511.5+2\cdot32\cdot4.5 \\ =511.5+288 \\ =799.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the answer is 799.5 square meters
