Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the dresser is in shape of a rectangular prism
Note that, a rectangular prism has a shape of a cuboid
So, area of the rectangular prism is same as area of a cuboid
A = (2LB + 2LH + 2BH)
Where
L is length
B is breadth
H is height
Then, given the dimension of the rectangular prism to be
2ft by 2ft by 6ft
Then, you can assume that,
Length L = 2ft
Breadth B = 2ft
Height H = 6ft.
NOTE: you can take you assumption anyhow, there is no standard, you will get the same answer.
Then,
A = (2LB + 2LH + 2BH)
A = (2×2×2 + 2×2×6 + 2×2×6)
A = (8 + 24 + 24)
A = 56 ft²
The total surface area of the dresser is 56ft²
