Answer:

108 cm²

Explanation:

the surface area is the sum of all individual shapes areas on the surface.

2 right-angled triangles

3 rectangles

area of a right-angled triangle is At = a×b/2

At = 4×3/2 = 6 cm²

we need it twice : 12 cm²

one rectangle (length×width) = 8×3 = 24 cm²

one rectangle = 8×4 = 32 in²

one rectangle = 8×5 = 40 cm²

total surface area

A = 12+24+32+40 = 108 cm²

an area is always a square unit (power of 2).

a volume is always a cubic unit (power of 3).

and a length is always a simple unit (power of 1).
