To calculate the surface area of the suitcase, we need to find the area of each side and then sum them up.
1. Side 1: Width x Height = 9.5 inches x 22.5 inches = 213.75 square inches
2. Side 2: Width x Height = 9.5 inches x 22.5 inches = 213.75 square inches
3. Side 3: Width x Height = 9.5 inches x 22.5 inches = 213.75 square inches
4. Side 4: Width x Height = 9.5 inches x 22.5 inches = 213.75 square inches
5. Top and bottom sides are identical, so we only need to calculate one of them: Width x Width = 9.5 inches x 9.5 inches = 90.25 square inches
Now, sum up the areas of all sides:
213.75 + 213.75 + 213.75 + 213.75 + 90.25 = 945 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the suitcase is 945 square inches.
1. Side 1: Width x Height = 9.5 inches x 22.5 inches = 213.75 square inches
2. Side 2: Width x Height = 9.5 inches x 22.5 inches = 213.75 square inches
3. Side 3: Width x Height = 9.5 inches x 22.5 inches = 213.75 square inches
4. Side 4: Width x Height = 9.5 inches x 22.5 inches = 213.75 square inches
5. Top and bottom sides are identical, so we only need to calculate one of them: Width x Width = 9.5 inches x 9.5 inches = 90.25 square inches
Now, sum up the areas of all sides:
213.75 + 213.75 + 213.75 + 213.75 + 90.25 = 945 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the suitcase is 945 square inches.
