A rectangular prism has a length of 8 feet, a width of 3 feet, and a height of 5 feet. What is the surface area of the rectangular prism?

A rectangular prism has three pairs of matching faces, so its surface area is 2(lw + lh + wh). Substituting the dimensions gives 2((8 × 3) + (8 × 5) + (3 × 5)) = 2(24 + 40 + 15) = 158 square feet. The correct choice is 158 square feet.
