The surface area of a similar rectangular-prism-shaped skyscraper that has a scale factor of 1/800 would be equal to 1.7 meter.

The surface area of a rectangular prism.

Mathematically, the surface area of a rectangular-prism is given by this formula:

A = 2(wl + hl + hw)

Where:

  • A is the surface area.
  • l is the length.
  • w is the width.
  • h is the height.

Given the following data:

Surface area of rectangular prism = 1,115,000 m²

Scale factor = 1/800

The length, height and width of the similar model would be 1/800 the original rectangular-prism-shaped skyscraper.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Surface area = 1,115,000 × 1/800 × 1/800

Surface area = 1.7 meter.
