Answer: The surface area (SA) would be 62 m.

Step-by-step explanation: The formula for surface area of a rectangular prism is SA= 2(length × width + height × length + width × height). We can   substitute the length, width and height into the problem and get

SA= 2(3×5 + 2×5 + 3×2). Using the order of operations (PEMDAS) we can simplify the problem down to SA= 2(15 + 10 + 6), then add up what is in the   parentheses and get SA= 2(31), and 2×31=62.
