The formula is given by;

S.A = 2lh + 2hw + 2lw

where l is the length

h is the height

w is the width

From the question diagram;

l = 1 3/10 = 13/10 when changed to improper fraction

w= 1 2/5 = 7/5 when changed to improper fraction

h = 1 1/5 = 6/5 when changed to improper fraction

Substituting the values into the formula;

S.A = 2(13/10)(6/5) + 2(6/5)(7/5) + 2(13/10)(7/5)

Then we go ahead and evaluate;

S.A = 156/50 + 84/25 + 182/50

=78/25 + 84/25 + 91/25

=253/25

= 10 3/25


=10(3)/(25)ft^2
