A shipping crate is 9 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 6 feet tall. What is the total surface area of the crate in square feet?

Step-by-step explanation:

sureface area of rectanglur object is the sum of the six sides

     Area = Length x Width

   SArea = Top Area + Bottom Area + Front Area + Back Area + Left Side Area

                 + Right Side Area

        since the top and bottom have equal  area  =  long x wide

                  the front and back have equal  area    = long x tall

                  and both sides have equal area  =  wide x tall

              I summed the bottom front and side areas each times 2

   SArea = 2(Bottom Area) + 2(Front Area) + 2(Side Area)

                 factor out the 2 and added the area formulas for the bottom front

                 and side

              = 2 [ (long x wide) + (long x tall) + (wide x tall)]

              = 2 [ (9 x 4) + (9 x 6) + (4 x 6)]

              = 2 [ (9)(4) + (9)(6) + (4)(6)]

              = 2(    36   +   54   + 24 )

              = 2( 114)

              =      What is 2 times 114         You can finish this part.
