Of course, I'd be happy to help you calculate the surface area of Mr. Suarez's storage shed!
To calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism, we need to find the areas of its six faces and add them together.
The formula to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Where:
- l represents the length of the rectangular prism
- w represents the width of the rectangular prism
- h represents the height of the rectangular prism
Given the dimensions of Mr. Suarez's storage shed:
l = 14 feet
w = 7 feet
h = 8 feet
We can substitute these values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(14)(7) + 2(14)(8) + 2(7)(8)
Calculating each part:
- 2(14)(7) = 196
- 2(14)(8) = 224
- 2(7)(8) = 112
Now, we can add these values together to find the surface area:
Surface Area = 196 + 224 + 112 = 532 square feet
So, the surface area of Mr. Suarez's storage shed is 532 square feet. He will need to buy enough paint to cover this area.
