Picture of a 6 inch cake by 9 inch rectangular cake that is 2 inches tall if you cover the cake with frosting, excluding the bottom what is the surface area of the cake that would be covered with frosting?
The top of the cake has dimensions of 6 inches by 9 inches, which is 54 square inches. The sides of the cake have an area of (2 x 6) + (2 x 9) x 2 = 60 square inches. Therefore, the total surface area of the cake that would be covered with frosting is 54 + 60 = 114 square inches.
