To find the total surface area of the toy truck (excluding the wheels), we need to calculate the surface area of the rectangular cab and the shipping container separately and then add them together.
Surface area of the rectangular cab:
The rectangular cab has dimensions of 6 in. x 4 in. x 3 in.
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Surface area = 2(6)(4) + 2(6)(3) + 2(4)(3) = 48 + 36 + 24 = 108 in.²
Surface area of the shipping container:
The shipping container has dimensions of 12 in. x 4 in. x 3 in.
Surface area = 2(12)(4) + 2(12)(3) + 2(4)(3) = 96 + 72 + 24 = 192 in.²
Total surface area of the truck (excluding the wheels):
108 in.² (cab) + 192 in.² (shipping container) = 300 in.²
Therefore, the total surface area of the truck (excluding the wheels) is 300 in.².
