1598 cm square is the area of the container.
According to the statement
we have given that the container is rectangular prism
And Length of rectangular prism is 34cm
Width of rectangular prism is 17 cm
Height of rectangular prism is 20 cm
we use the below written formula to find the surface area
Surface area formula A=(wl+hl+hw)
To find the surface area of the container.
Substitute the values of Length, width and height in the formula then
A=(wl+hl+hw)
A=((17)(34)+(20)(34)+(20)(17))
After solving the values
A=(578+680+340)
A= 1598
So, 1598 cm square is the area of the container.
