Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of rectangular prism:

length = l = 20 in

width = w = 12 in

height = h = 5 in

[tex]\boxed{\text{surface area of rectangular prism = 2*[lw + wh + hl]}}[/tex]

                                              = 2* [ 20*12 + 12*5 + 5*20]

                                              = 2* [240 + 60 + 100]

                                               = 2 * 400

                                               = 800 in²
