To find the total surface area of the cake that will be covered in vanilla icing, we need to determine the area of the four sides of the sheet cake.
Given that the sheet cake is represented by the net given, we can see that the dimensions of the cake are as follows:
Top: 12 inches x 10 inches
Sides: 12 inches x 3 inches (2 sides) and 10 inches x 3 inches (2 sides)
Calculate the area of the sides:
12 inches x 3 inches = 36 square inches (2 sides)
10 inches x 3 inches = 30 square inches (2 sides)
Total area of the sides: 36 square inches + 36 square inches + 30 square inches + 30 square inches = 132 square inches
Therefore, Ilana will cover 132 square inches of the cake in vanilla icing on the sides.
