The total surface area of the sawhorse can be calculated using the formula:

Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given:
Length (l) = 27 inches
Width (w) = 19 inches
Height (h) = 39 inches

Plugging in the values:
Surface Area = 2(27*19) + 2(27*39) + 2(19*39)
Surface Area = 2(513) + 2(1053) + 2(741)
Surface Area = 1026 + 2106 + 1482
Surface Area = 4614 square inches

The total surface area of Kym's sawhorse is 4614 square inches.
