Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a three dimensional composite figure formed by a rectangular prism with a missing section. The missing section is in the shape of two rectangular prisms. With the section removed, the figure resembles three steps. The top, right, and front faces are visible. The faces and edges that are not visible are indicated by dashed lines. The rectangular prism has a length of 12 centimeters at the bottom, a width of 2 centimeters, and a height of 18 centimeters. The top length of the rectangular prism is divided equally across the three steps. Each step has a length of 4 centimeters. The right side height of the rectangular prism is divided equally along the three steps. Each step has a height of 6 centimeters.
What is the total surface area of the figure?

you have to choose one of these answers
The correct answer is: 444 cm2
double check your work (I'm not saying you're wrong)
My apologies for the error. Let's calculate the total surface area of the figure.
For the rectangular prism with dimensions 12 cm x 2 cm x 18 cm:
- Total surface area of a rectangular prism = 2(lw + lh + wh)
- Total surface area = 2(12*2 + 12*18 + 2*18)
- Total surface area = 2(24 + 216 + 36)
- Total surface area = 2(276)
- Total surface area = 552 cm²
Therefore, the correct answer is: 552 cm²

An illustration shows a small rectangular prism placed on top of a large rectangular prism, to form a 2-tiered step. The edges that are not visible are marked with dashed lines. The length of the large rectangular prism on the bottom is 17 inches and the height is 6.5 inches. The small rectangular prism placed on top along the back edge shows a width of 14 inches, which aligns with the width of the bottom rectangular prism. The total height of both rectangles is 13 inches overall. The length of the large rectangular prism that is not covered by the small rectangular prism is 8.5 inches.

Given the dimensions and configuration described in the illustration, let's calculate the surface area of the two-tiered steps.
Surface area of the large rectangular prism on the bottom:
- Length (l): 17 inches
- Width (w): 14 inches
- Height (h): 6.5 inches
- Surface area = 2(lw + lh + wh) = 2(17*14 + 17*6.5 + 14*6.5) = 2(238 + 110.5 + 91) = 2(439.5) = 879 in²
Surface area of the small rectangular prism on top:
- Length (l): 17 inches
- Width (w): 14 inches
- Height (h): 13 - 6.5 = 6.5 inches (height when placed on top)
- Surface area = 2(lw + lh + wh) = 2(17*14 + 17*6.5 + 14*6.5) = 2(238 + 110.5 + 91) = 2(439.5) = 879 in²
Total surface area of the two-tiered steps = Surface area of large prism + Surface area of small prism = 879 + 879 = 1758 in².
Therefore, the correct answer is: 1,758 in.2

Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate the surface area of the two-tiered step structure using the given dimensions and information.
Surface area of the large rectangular prism at the bottom:
- Length: 17 inches
- Width: 14 inches
- Height: 6.5 inches
- Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
- Surface Area = 2(17*14) + 2(17*6.5) + 2(14*6.5)
- Surface Area = 2(238) + 2(110.5) + 2(91)
- Surface Area = 476 + 221 + 182
- Surface Area = 879 square inches
Surface area of the small rectangular prism on top:
- Length: 17 inches
- Width: 14 inches
- Height: 6.5 inches
- Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
- Surface Area = 2(17*14) + 2(17*6.5) + 2(14*6.5)
- Surface Area = 2(238) + 2(110.5) + 2(91)
- Surface Area = 476 + 221 + 182
- Surface Area = 879 square inches
Total surface area of the two-tiered structure:
- Total Surface Area = Surface Area of large rectangular prism + Surface Area of small rectangular prism
- Total Surface Area = 879 + 879
- Total Surface Area = 1758 square inches
Therefore, the correct answer is: 1,758 in.2.
