Answer:
The answer is 1,550
Explanation:
First you find the area of the rectangle 1
Area = ab
=(21 in) (17in)
=357 sq in.
this will be the same for rectangle 3 = 357 sq. in.
next find the area of rectangle 2
area=ac
=(21 in) (11 in)
=231 sq in.
this will be the same for rectangle 4 = 231 sq. in.
next find the area of rectangle 5
area = bc
=(17 in) (11 in.)
=187 sq. in
this will be the same for rectangle 6 = 187 sq. in.
Next add all areas together
Total surface area = 2(ac) + 2(ab) + 2(bc)
= 2(231) sq in. + 2(357) sq in. + 2(187) sq. in
= 462 + 174+ 374
= 1550 sq. in
