Answer:

52m²

Step-by-step explanation:

For this you would consider each face of the figure as a rectangle, and then multiply it by two.

Face 1:

3m×4m×2=24m²

Face 2:

4m×2m×2=16m²

Face 3:

3m×2m×2=12m²

Then you add each of them together to get the overall surface area

12m²+16m²+24m²=52m²

Therefore the final surface area is 52m²
