Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. the number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10. if the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. if the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

Surface area of the cube
--------------------------------------------------
6(2.5 x 2.5) = 37.5m²
<em>(* Each area is 2.5 x 2.5, and there are 6 sides to the cube)</em>
--------------------------------------------------
Surface area of the rectangle prism
--------------------------------------------------
2(11 x 7) + 2(9 x 7) + 2(9 x 11) = 478m²
<em>(* The opposite side of the rectangle area is the same, therefore x2)
</em>
--------------------------------------------------
Overlapping area
--------------------------------------------------
2.5 x 2.5 = 6.25m²
--------------------------------------------------
Surface area of the composite figure
--------------------------------------------------
37.5 + 478 - 2(6.25) = 503m²
<em>(* The bottom of the cube and the top of the rectangle prism overlapped, so the area is overlapped twice, minus 2 times of that area)</em>
--------------------------------------------------
Answer: 503m²
