Answer:

134 square inches

Explanation:

To find surface area, you must find the individual area of each face of the shape. There are 6 faces on every cube or other rectangular prism, so you must perform 3 equations, as every face has an identical face on the opposite side. The formula for regular area is Length (l) times Width (w).

Large sides on front and back: 8x6=48

Slim sides to the right and left: 1x6=6

Slim sides on top and bottom: 8x1=8

Then combine:

48+48+6+6+8+8=134
