Answer:

Since there are 2 sides, a front & back, and a top & bottom, you must find the surface area of each of those 3 surfaces and multiply by 2.

Explanation:

The formula would be:

Top & Bottom - 5 × 4 (multiply by 2 for top AND bottom)

Front & Back - 5 × 7 (multiply by 2 for front AND back)

Sides - 4 × 7 (multiply by 2 for BOTH sides)

___________________________________________________

Once you find the 3 surface areas, add the areas all together for the total. (I did not show the answer because that is for you to do on your own.)

Ex. Top & Bottom + Front & Back + Sides
