Surface Area of Rectangular Prisms

#1) Take a few minutes to interact with the rectangular prism shown here. After doing so, create one that has a length = 5 units, width = 4 units, and height = 2 units.
1.A
How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b][color=#ff00ff]pink face[/color][/b]? [br]How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b][color=#bf9000]gold face[/color][/b]? [br]How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b]white face[/b]?
1.B
Use your answers for (1) to determine the TOTAL SURFACE AREA of this rectangular prism. [br]That is, how many square units, or squares, cover the ENTIRE SURFACE of this rectangular prism?
2.) Now create a rectangular prism that has a length = 8 units, width = 3 units, and height = 5 units.
2.A
How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b][color=#ff00ff]pink face[/color][/b]? [br]How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b][color=#bf9000]gold face[/color][/b]? [br]How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b]white face[/b]?
2.B
Use your answers for (2) to determine the TOTAL SURFACE AREA of this rectangular prism. [br]That is, how many square units, or squares, cover the ENTIRE SURFACE of this rectangular prism?
3.) Now create a square prism/cube that has a side = 4 units.
3. A
How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b][color=#ff00ff]pink face[/color][/b]? [br]How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b][color=#bf9000]gold face[/color][/b]? [br]How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b]white face[/b]?
3.B
Use your answers for (3) to determine the TOTAL SURFACE AREA of this rectangular prism. [br]That is, how many square units, or squares, cover the ENTIRE SURFACE of this rectangular prism?
SUMMARY:
Overall, how we can determine the total surface area (number of squares) that cover the entire surface of a rectangular prism? Describe.
