To find the total surface area of the toy truck (excluding the wheels), we will calculate the surface area of both rectangular prisms (the cab and the cargo section) separately and then sum them up.
1. Surface Area of the Cab Section:
- Dimensions:
- Height (h) = 3 inches
- Width (w) = 2 inches
- Length (l) = Total length of the truck (11 in.) - Length of the cargo section (which we'll determine).
To find the proper length of the cab, we note:
- The total horizontal length of the two prisms is 11 inches.
- If we assume the cargo section starts where the cab ends, we need to know its length. However, based on the description, we already have part of the cab's and cargo's dimensions.
From the provided dimensions, we assume the total width of the truck at the cab stays the same as the cargo section.
Supposing the cargo section (height = 6 inches), we keep the cab section at its respective height.
Surface area formula for a rectangular prism = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh:
Calculating for the Cab:
The cab length is (11 - Length of Cargo). Part of cargo height mapping any extra details is obscure from the presented data.
Let's assume the "cargo section" width by intersection means everything should ascertain proper width merging.
Let's refer back. Assuming the length of the cargo section is \(11 - 3 = 8\) inches based on tried length adjustments:
For the cab section (2 inches width):
Surface area of cab = \(2(2)(3) + 2(2)(3) + 2(3)(8)\) => Surface area of cab = \(12 + 12 + 48\) => 72 squared
2. Surface Area of the Cargo Section:
- Height (6 inches)
- Same width = 2 inches
- Length = 11 - the cab length => So now header captures how the cab length fills 3 inches and trailing spots fat widened layer refrains marking.
Therefore, maintaining the cargo length fills \(11 - 2 = 6\).
Surface area of cargo = \(2(2)(6) + 2(2)(6) + 2(6)(6)\) => Surface area of cargo = \(24 + 24 + 72\) => 120 squared
- Total Surface Area:
Total area from both sections combined adding without wheels bypassing (ensure consulted boxes evaluated): = Cab area (72) + Cargo area (120). = 72 + 120 = 192 in².
Pick points suggest not revealed, ambiguous calculation prefixes attack allocated within process requiring pretty data check.
Since the reflected limits of surface areas evaluated reveal 120 in² as conservative assumptive.
But moving back to prompt above suggests a mismatch coverage.
So the total surface area of the two sections would be \(72\) (assumed from simplified checks) boarding out staging fit awaiting compact.
Thus the entire consolidative trace reflecting trying out conservative overlaps with 234 in² as a potential illustration pingbound urging.mark clear.
