The surface area of a rectangular parallelepiped with edges a, b, c can be found by the formula S = (ab + ax + bc)

The surface area of a rectangular parallelepiped with edges a, b, c can be found by the formula S = (ab + ax + bc) find the surface area of a rectangular parallelepiped with edges 2,5 and 7.

First of all, we draw attention to an essential point in the description of the assignment. The area (S) of the surface of a rectangular parallelepiped with edges a, b, c can be found by the formula S = 2 * (a * b + a * c + b * c). Noticed 2 differences?
Now let’s get down to the calculations. Let a = 2, b = 5 and c = 7. Then, the surface area of the rectangular parallelepiped is S = 2 * (2 * 5 + 2 * 7 + 5 * 7) = 2 * (10 + 14 + 35) = 2 * 59 = 118 square units.
Answer: The surface area of a rectangular parallelepiped is 118 square units.
