Step-by-step explanation

to find the lateral surafece, we need to add the 4 faces that make it,so

so,the total area

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=2(\text{length}\cdot\text{width)}+2(\text{length}\cdot\text{width)} \\ \text{Area}=2(6\text{ ft}\cdot3\text{ ft)+2(3ft}\cdot\text{2 ft)} \\ \text{Area}=2(18ft^2)+2(6ft^2) \\ \text{Area}=36ft^2+12ft^2 \\ \text{Area}=48ft^2 \end{gathered}`

so, the answer is 48 square feet
