You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A rectangular solid has 2 lengths, 2 widths, & 2 heights right?
So each faces are covered then- surface area.
The length & width meet twice, length & height meet twice, and width and height meets twice too. In eqn,
A=2LW%2B2LH%2B2WH
A=2%2810%29%286%29%2B2%2810%29%285%29%2B2%286%29%285%29
A=120%2B100%2B60
A=280+sq+units
Thank you,
