Answer:
The surface area of the square prism is [tex]104\ cm^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The surface area of the square prism is equal to
[tex]SA=2b^{2} +4bh[/tex]
where
b is the length side of the square base
h is the height of the prism
In this problem we have
[tex]b=2\ cm[/tex]
[tex]h=12\ cm[/tex]
substitute
[tex]SA=2(2)^{2} +4(2)(12)=104\ cm^{2}[/tex]
