You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism: SA = 2*(L*W + W*H + L*H)

SA = surface area
L = length
W = width
H = height

In this case,

SA = unknown (for now)
L = 49
W = 32
H = 41

SA = 2*(L*W + W*H + L*H)
SA = 2*(49*32 + 32*41 + 49*41)
SA = 9,778 square units
