Answer:

138 cm.

Explanation:

So first, we find the S.A. of the front and back.

The diagram says the side length of the front is 3 cm. and 3 cm.

3x3=9. So then, the back is also 9 cm, 9+9=18.

Now to find the S.A.'s of the four sides, you have to see the side lengths of each of them. The side lengths are 3 and 10.

3x10=30. This means each of them is 30 cm.

30x4=120. 120 is the total surface area of the four sides.

To find the total surface area of the whole rectangle, you add all the surface areas.

120+18=138 cm. (Not squared, since it's surface area and not area.)
