1 answer

The eraser can be visualized as a rectangular prism with dimensions 1.12 x 2 x 6 inches for three of its faces, and as a rectangular prism with dimensions 1.12 x 6 x 1.5 inches for the other three faces.

Calculating the surface area of each face:
- For the faces with dimensions 1.12 x 2 inches: 1.12 x 2 = 2.24 square inches each
- For the faces with dimensions 2 x 6 inches: 2 x 6 = 12 square inches each
- For the faces with dimensions 1.12 x 1.5 inches: 1.12 x 1.5 = 1.68 square inches each

Calculating the total surface area:
2 (2.24) + 2 (12) + 2 (1.68) = 4.48 + 24 + 3.36 = 31.84 square inches

So, the total surface area of the eraser is 31.84 square inches.
