Answer:
Surface Area = 130 sq ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If you don't have a picture, draw a picture so you can see what's up. See image. Surface area is the area of all the faces of a 3d shape (a solid) all added up. This solid is a box. It has six faces. Each face is a rectangle. The top and bottom are the same. The front and back are the same. The left and right sides are the same. See image.
Area of a rectangle is:
A = l × w
Area of the top:
5 × 10 = 50
Area of the bottom also 50.
Area of the left side:
1 × 5 = 5
Area of the right side is also 5.
Area of the front:
1 × 10 =10
Area of the back is also 10.
ADD up all 6 areas:
50+50+5+5+10+10
Surface area = 130
Area has square units.
SA = 130 square ft
