If one face of a rectangular prism has an area of 15 cm squared, what is the total area of the identical opposite face?

• 15 cm squared

• 45 cm squared

• 30 cm squared

• 7.5 cm squared

To find the total surface area of a rectangular prism, you must:

• Multiply the area of the longest face by three

• Add the areas of all six faces together

• Add the area of the top and bottom faces only

• Multiply the area of one face by six
