Answer:
Since there are 2 sides, a front & back, and a top & bottom, you must find the surface area of each of those 3 surfaces and multiply by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula would be:
Top & Bottom - 5 × 4 (multiply by 2 for top AND bottom)
Front & Back - 5 × 7 (multiply by 2 for front AND back)
Sides - 4 × 7 (multiply by 2 for BOTH sides)
___________________________________________________
Once you find the 3 surface areas, add the areas all together for the total. (I did not show the answer because that is for you to do on your own.)
Ex. Top & Bottom + Front & Back + Sides
In the expression 4 to the power of 9, the number 9 is called the D. exponent.
Number four here is the base, and the exponent is always shown as a superscript to the right of the base. It shows how many times you are supposed to multiply the base by itself.
