Man created a storage bin for the family to hold the remote control and cell phone cords. What is the total surface area of the storage building?

Answer 1

To calculate the total surface area of the storage bin, we first need to determine the dimensions of the bin. Let's assume the storage bin is in the shape of a rectangular prism with the following dimensions:

Length = 10 inches
Width = 6 inches
Height = 4 inches

Now, we use the formula for calculating the surface area of a rectangular prism:

Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Surface Area = 2(10*6) + 2(10*4) + 2(6*4)
Surface Area = 2(60) + 2(40) + 2(24)
Surface Area = 120 + 80 + 48
Surface Area = 248 square inches

Therefore, the total surface area of the storage bin is 248 square inches.
