To find the surface area of the steamer basket, we need to add up the areas of the two circular bases and the rectangular face.
Given:
Area of each circular base = 452.16 cm^2
Area of rectangular face = 678.24 cm^2
Surface area of the steamer basket = 2*(Area of circular base) + Area of rectangular face
Surface area = 2*452.16 + 678.24
Surface area = 904.32 + 678.24
Surface area = 1582.56 cm^2
Therefore, the surface area of the steamer basket is 1582.56 cm^2.
