find the surface area of a rectangular prism in python

To find the surface area of a rectangular prism in Python, you can write a function that takes the length, width, and height of the prism as arguments, and returns the surface area of the prism.

main.py
def surface_area_rectangular_prism(length, width, height):
    # Calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism using the formula:
    surface_area = 2 * ((length * width) + (length * height) + (width * height))
    
    # Return the surface area of the rectangular prism
    return surface_area

You can then call this function with the dimensions of your rectangular prism to find its surface area. For example:

main.py
# Find the surface area of a rectangular prism with length=3, width=4, height=5
surface_area = surface_area_rectangular_prism(3, 4, 5)

# Print the surface area of the rectangular prism
print("Surface area of rectangular prism:", surface_area)

6 lines

This would output:

main.py
Surface area of rectangular prism: 94
38 chars
2 lines

So the surface area of the rectangular prism with length=3, width=4, and height=5 is 94 square units.
