To find the surface area of the suitcase, you need to calculate the area of each side and then add them together.
The suitcase has six sides: top, bottom, front, back, left, and right.
The area of the top and bottom sides is 9.5 inches × 16 inches = 152 square inches each.
The area of the front and back sides is 9.5 inches × 22.5 inches = 213.75 square inches each.
The area of the left and right sides is 16 inches × 22.5 inches = 360 square inches each.
Adding all the areas together, the total surface area of the suitcase is:
152 square inches (top) + 152 square inches (bottom) + 213.75 square inches (front) + 213.75 square inches (back) + 360 square inches (left) + 360 square inches (right) = 1451.5 square inches.
Therefore, the surface area of the carry-on suitcase is 1451.5 square inches.
