Ms. Sue or anyone else ?
The top is 9 * 6 = 54 square inches

Two sides are 2 * 9 = 36 square inches

Two sides are 2 * 6 = 24 square inches.

Now add those areas together for the total amount of frosting.
so it would be 114 ?
Yes, 114 SQUARE INCHES
Okay thank you so much !
You are very welcome.

Thanks so much, Ms. Sue! Most people don't like your help, but if they just read the stuff you post to help, they could probably learn how to do it themselves! Thanks again!
Thanks man
Thanks Mrs. Sue. I needed a recap.
Hold on 9 times two doesn’t equal 36 though......
no it doesn't what she means is 2 times 9 not 9 times 2
what she meant is 2.9=18 then times 2 = 36 (same for the other one)
people don't appreciate ms. sue enough

@ E
What Mrs. Sue means by 2 * 9 = 36 is that there are two sides. So, you would have to add that to the equation, meaning 2 * 2 * 9.

@ I'm alright
You're not finding the volume in this problem. You are finding the surface area.
STILL HOW DO YOU GET 114 !!!
You have to add the Product you got from multiply the number so the three answers you got from multiplying is what you have the answer is ,the correct answers is 105

Help Someone I am getting g two answers 108 and 114 sq inches????can you do the step by step please??? Thanks have top 9 x 6 = 54. Two sides 2 x 9 = 36.
Two sides 2 x 6 = 24 sq inches.
Guys it's 9x2x2 because theres 2 sides
@Nobody that would be 36, its 9 * 2 + 6 * 2 + 6 * 9 :) which leads you to 114! I hope you know Im not being rude and just correcting you- sorry.
wait guys 2 x 9 is 18 and 2 x 6 is 12 HOW ARE WE GETTING 36 AND 24 !!!!!
@Star wars rebels girl
(9 * 2) * 2 = 36
(6 * 2) * 24 = 24
9 * 6 = 54
then 54 + 24 + 36 = 114

Hope this helped! Sorry, I'm late!
