The surface area of a right rectangular prism is the amount of space on it.

Muna's claim is incorrect

The surface area of a right rectangular prism is calculated as:

A = 2 * (lw + lh + wh)

So, we have:

A = 2 * (8 * 16 + 8 * 12 + 16 * 12)

The above expression implies that Muna's claim is incorrect
