To calculate the total surface area of a shape, you would need to add up the surface areas of each of its individual sides. If we assume this shape is a rectangular prism with six sides, we can calculate the total surface area using the formula:
Total surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given the measurements provided, we can substitute them into the formula:
Total surface area = 2(8*15) + 2(8*20) + 2(15*20)
Total surface area = 2(120) + 2(160) + 2(300)
Total surface area = 240 + 320 + 600
Total surface area = 1160
Therefore, the total surface area of the shape is 1160 units squared.
A Shapes measurements are 8, 15, 20, 12, 8, and 8. What is the total surface area.
