ABC Elementary wants to purchase new computers for their school. They are curious how the new laptops compare to their current ones in terms of space as their enrollment numbers are increasing and space is not. What would the surface area be if the length is 13 inches, the width is 7.5 inches, and the height is 7.5 inches? The triangle’s hypotenuse is 10.61 inches. (Remember the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle.) Round your answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

I apologize for the mistake. Let's try again:
To find the surface area of the laptop, we need to find the area of each side and then add them all together.
The laptop has 6 sides: top, bottom, front, back, left, and right.
1. Top and bottom:
Area = length x width = 13 inches x 7.5 inches = 97.5 square inches for each side
Total for both top and bottom = 2 x 97.5 = 195 square inches
2. Front and back:
Area = length x height = 13 inches x 7.5 inches = 97.5 square inches for each side
Total for both front and back = 2 x 97.5 = 195 square inches
3. Left and right:
Area = width x height = 7.5 inches x 7.5 inches = 56.25 square inches for each side
Total for both left and right = 2 x 56.25 = 112.5 square inches
Total surface area = 195 + 195 + 112.5 = 502.5 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the laptop would be 502.5 square inches.
