Surface area of a rectangular prism = 2 (lw + wd + dl)
where l = length, w = width and d = depth
Therefore, surface area of the storage bin = 2 (114*56 + 56*56 + 56*114)
= 2 (6384 + 3136 + 6384)
= 2 * 15904
= 31808 sq cm
= 31808 * 0.00107639104 sq ft (since 1 sq cm = 0.00107639104 sq ft)
= 34.238 sq ft
