10 ft
15 ft
7 ft
4 ft
4 ft
1 ft
The surface area of the letter C sculpture can be calculated by adding up the surface areas of each of its faces.
The letter C is likely made up of several rectangular faces. Assuming it is 3-dimensional with the same thickness on all sides, let's say each face is 1 ft by 1 ft.
The total number of faces in a letter C sculpture would be 4, since it is likely open on one side. So the total surface area would be 4 x (1 ft x 1 ft) = 4 square feet.
Therefore, the surface area of the letter C sculpture is 4 ft.
