Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the two bases is 2*(1/2)*(3 in)*(4 in) = 12 in².
The lateral area is that of a rectangle 2 in high by (3 in + 4 in + 5 in) long, so is
(2 in)×(12 in) = 24 in²
The total surface area is the sum of the base areas and the lateral area
A = 12 in² + 24 in²
A = 36 in²
