Answer 7

Well, surface area has a simple formula. The formula is:

SA = 2A1 + 2A2 + 2A3

(The numbers after (2A) are supposed to represent which area we're talking about.)

Basically, it's saying Surface Area equals the area of each of the sides. Since a rectangle has 6 sides, 3 of which are repeated, we can just multiply the area of that side by 2.

The first step would be to put it together and figure out our sides.

Answer 8

From this image, we can fill in our equation:

SA = 2(12*25) + 2(12*18) + 2(25*18)

Now just input this in a calculator, and you'll get your answer
