The perimeter of RSTU can be calculated alone without the help of MNPQ. It would be just 2(4) + 2(3) = 14 units. However, it would be much sensible if you want to find the parameter of the bigger rectangle. Since they are similar, you could use ratio and proportion.

(length/width)∨MNPQ = (length/width)∨RSTU
(x/9) = (3/4)
x = 6.75 units

Thus the perimeter of MNPQ is 2(6.75) + 2(9) = 31.5 units

The top and bottom faces are 3 inches by 3 inches.

Area = 3 in. * 3 in. * 2 = 18 in.^2

The front, back, right, and left faces are 3 in. by 6 in.

Area = 3 in. * 6 in. * 4 = 72 in.^2

Total surface area = 18 in.^2 + 72 in.^2 = 90 in.^2

Answer: B. 90 square inches
