To calculate the surface area of the letter C, we first need to determine its dimensions. Let's assume the height of the letter C is 10 ft and the width is 4 ft.
The surface area of a letter C can be calculated by adding the surface area of each individual block letter. In this case, the letter C consists of three rectangular blocks: two blocks with dimensions of 10 ft by 4 ft and one block with dimensions of 7 ft by 4 ft.
Surface area of first block = 10 ft * 4 ft = 40 sq ft
Surface area of second block = 10 ft * 4 ft = 40 sq ft
Surface area of third block = 7 ft * 4 ft = 28 sq ft
Total surface area of the letter C = 40 sq ft + 40 sq ft + 28 sq ft = 108 sq ft
Therefore, the surface area of the letter C is 108 square feet.
