Explanation:

the total surface area is the sum of the individual areas on the surface.

we have

2 triangles (top and bottom)

1 front rectangle

2 rectangles in the back

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

1.7 × 0.5 / 2 = 0.425 in²

both triangles together : 2×0.425 = 0.85 in²

the area of a rectangle is

length × width

so, the front is

1.7 × 1.5 = 2.55 in²

one back rectangle is

1 × 1.5 = 1.5 in²

both back areas are 2×1.5 = 3 in²

so, the total surface area is

0.85 + 2.55 + 3 = 6.4 in²
