Answer 2

Answer:

D, or 432 Inches Squared

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find each side

Front = 6 x 12, 72

Side = 6 x 8, 48

Bottom/Top = 12 x 8, 96

Next we multiply each side by 2, since there is 2 sides for each respective surface.

72 x 2 = 144

48 x 2 = 96

96 x 2 = 192

Lastly, we add them all together, since we are finding surface area!

144 + 96 + 192 = 432
