Respuesta :
Total area of the ends: 2(2")(6") = 24 in^2
Total area of the sides: 2(2")(9") = 36 in^2
Are of the bottom : 1(6")(9") = 54 in^2
Total surface area to be covered = (24+36+54) in^2
Answer: [tex]114\ inches^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The dimensions of the base of rectangular cake is [tex]6\times9[/tex] inch.
The length of the rectangular cake = 9 inches
The width of the rectangular cake = 6 inches
The height of the rectangular cake = 2 inches
The surface area of rectangular cake if excluding the bottom will be given by :-
[tex]\text{Surface Area}=2h(l+w)+lw\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Surface Area}=2(2)(9+6)+(9\times6)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Surface Area}=4(15)+54\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Surface Area}=60+54\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Surface Area}=114\ inches^2[/tex]
