Respuesta :

Answer:

The surface area is 248 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing dimensions (that complete the question) are:

[tex]Length = 4\ in[/tex] --- L

[tex]Width = 6\ in[/tex] ---- W

[tex]Height =10\ in[/tex] --- H

Required:

Calculate the surface area

The surface area is:

[tex]Area = 2(L*W + L*H + H*W)[/tex]

Substitute values for L, W and H

[tex]Area = 2(4*6+ 4*10 + 10*6)[/tex]

[tex]Area = 2(24+ 40 + 60)[/tex]

[tex]Area = 2(124)[/tex]

Remove bracket

[tex]Area = 2*124[/tex]

[tex]Area = 248[/tex]
