Answer: 136 square feet

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The front face is a triangle with base 6 and height 4.

The area is 0.5*base*height = 0.5*6*4 = 12 square feet

The back face is also 12 square feet since the front and back faces are identical triangles.

So far we have 12+12 = 24 square feet of surface area.

--------------------

The bottom face, that runs along the floor or ground, is a rectangle that is 6 ft by 7 ft. So we have 6*7 = 42 square feet of surface area here. This adds onto the 24 we found earlier to get 24+42 = 66 square feet so far.

To find the left and right upper faces, we'll need to find the length of the hypotenuse first. The 6 ft cuts in half to 3 ft. The right triangle on the left has side lengths of 4 ft and 3 ft as the two legs. Use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse is 5 ft. We have a 3-4-5 right triangle.

This means the upper left face is 5 ft by 7 ft leading to an area of 5*7 = 35 square feet. The same can be said about the upper right face.

So we add on 35+35 = 70 more square feet to the 66 we found earlier to get a grand total of 70+66 = 136 square feet of surface area.
