Surface area of a rectangular prism:
[tex]SA=2l*w+2w*h+2l*h[/tex]
l is the length
w is the width
h is the height
For the given rectangular prism:
[tex]\begin{gathered} l=2yd \\ w=4yd \\ h=5yd \\ \\ SA=2*2yd*4yd+2*4yd*5yd+2*2yd*5yd \\ SA=16yd^2+40yd^2+20yd^2 \\ SA=76yd^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, the surface area of the given rectangular prism is 76 square yards
