dimensions provided are for one side of the magnet model?
First, calculate the surface area of the square base of the prism:
Area = 10 feet x 10 feet = 100 square feet
Next, calculate the surface area of the rectangular portion that was removed:
Area = 4 feet x 5 feet = 20 square feet
Calculate the surface area of the remaining two legs on the left and right of the removed portion:
Area = 2*(4 feet x 10 feet) = 80 square feet
Add the surface area of the square base, the removed portion, and the remaining legs:
Total surface area = 100 square feet + 20 square feet + 80 square feet = 200 square feet
Therefore, the total surface area of the prop that will need to be painted is 200 square feet.
