Answer:

644 cm³

Explanation:

Surface area of the composite figure = (surface area of the upper cuboid - base area of upper cuboid) + (surface area of the lower cuboid - base area of the upper cuboid)

✔️Surface area of upper cuboid = 2(LW + LH + WH)

L = 3

W = 3

H = 8

Surface area of upper cuboid = 2(3*3 + 3*8 + 3*8) = 2(9 + 24 + 24) = 114 cm²

✔️Surface area of Surface area of lower cuboid = 2(LW + LH + WH)

L = 12

W = 10

H = 7

Surface area of lower cuboid = 2(12*10 + 12*7 + 10*7) = 2(120 + 84 + 70) = 548 cm²

✔️Base area of upper cuboid = L*W

L = 3

W = 3

Base area = 3*3 = 9 cm²

✅Surface area of the composite figure = (114 - 9) + (548 - 9) = 105 + 539 = 644 cm³
