Based on the dimensions given, the total surface area can be calculated using the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Plugging in the values:
2(30*24) + 2(30*36) + 2(24*36) = 2(720) + 2(1080) + 2(864) = 1440 + 2160 + 1728 = 5328 square inches
Therefore, the total surface area of Jen's sawhorse is 5,328 square inches. None of the answer choices are a match, it seems there was a mistake in the calculations or the given choices.

Apologies for the error in the calculations. Let's try again:
To find the surface area of the rectangular prism, we need to find the area of all six sides.
Front and back sides:
Each side is 30 inches long and 36 inches tall. So, the area of one front or back side is 30*36 = 1080 square inches. Since there are two such sides, the total area for the front and back sides is 2*1080 = 2160 square inches.
Top and bottom sides:
Each side is 30 inches long and 24 inches wide. So, the area of one top or bottom side is 30*24 = 720 square inches. Since there are two such sides, the total area for the top and bottom sides is 2*720 = 1440 square inches.
Left and right sides:
Each side is 24 inches wide and 36 inches tall. So, the area of one left or right side is 24*36 = 864 square inches. Since there are two such sides, the total area for the left and right sides is 2*864 = 1728 square inches.
Adding all these areas together, we get:
2160 (front and back) + 1440 (top and bottom) + 1728 (left and right) = 5328 square inches
Therefore, the total surface area of Jen's sawhorse is 5,328 square inches.

Left and right sides:
Each side is 24 inches wide and 36 inches tall. So, the area of one left or right side is 24*36 = 864 square inches. Since there are two such sides, the total area for the left and right sides is 2*864 = 1728 square inches.
Adding all these areas together, we get:
2160 (front and back) + 1440 (top and bottom) + 1728 (left and right) = 5328 square inches
Therefore, the total surface area of Jen's sawhorse is 5,328 square inches.
