To find the surface area of the air conditioner, first calculate the area of each side and then sum them together.
The net of the air conditioner would have the following dimensions:
Top and bottom: 2 sides of 23'' x 25'' = 2 * 23 * 25 = 1150 sq in
Front and back: 2 sides of 23'' x 17'' = 2 * 23 * 17 = 782 sq in
Two sides: 2 sides of 25'' x 17'' = 2 * 25 * 17 = 850 sq in
Total surface area = 1150 + 782 + 850 = 2782 sq in
Therefore, the surface area of the air conditioner is 2782 square inches.
