To find the surface area of the two-tiered steps, we need to calculate the area of each individual step and add them together.
For the bottom step:
Length = 12 ft, Width = 6 ft
Area = Length x Width = 12 ft x 6 ft = 72 ft²
For the top step:
Length = 8 ft, Width = 6 ft
Area = Length x Width = 8 ft x 6 ft = 48 ft²
Total surface area = 72 ft² + 48 ft² = 120 ft²
Therefore, the surface area of the two-tiered steps is 120 ft².
