that looks extremely annoying to do~... do you know how to do it?, well do you know what surface area is?
no

that image looks really daunting haha but they want us to find the surface area of the bottom rectangular prism |dw:1614720046460:dw|
(also, may I add, I absolutely enjoyed the title to your post)
Anyway, in a normal rectangular prism or just call it a box like you know the boxes that you get when order stuff online? The formula for surface area is A=2(wl + hl + hw) the w stands for width the l stands for length and the h stands for height

so the three numbers are 21, 18 and 3 if we put them into our formula SA = 2( (21*18) + (3*18) + (3*21) ) so one at a time what is 21 times 18 =
378
Good now we have SA = 2( 378 + (3*18) + (3*21) ) what is 3 times 18
34?
eek
did you mean to type something else?
no
18 + 18 is 36 which is way more than 34 18 * 3 is the same thing as 18 + 18 + 18
54
mb idk what i was thinking
okay good and now 3 * 21 =
63
so now we have Surface area = 2(378 + 54 + 63) What is 378 + 54 + 63 =
495
so now we have Surface area = 2(495) which is the same thing as 2 times 495 which is ... your final answer :D
990? o;
you did it ;o
but like, next time I'm going to make you do more than just using a calculator you have to learn how to do this stuff haha
alright im a smarty o;
