Miguel is painting a cabinet shaped like a rectangular prism. He is going to

paint all of the exterior sides except the top and the bottom. The cabinet is

6 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet deep. What is the surface area of the

portion of the cabinet that Miguel is going to paint?

The surface area of the portion of the cabinet that Miguel is going to paint is: 40 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

6 feet lenght 4 feet wide 2 feet height

As we know, the surface area of the a rectangular prism

SA = 2 (lw + lh + wh)

SA = (2lh + wh) This except the top and the bottom areas

SA = (2*6*2 + 4*2)

SA=40 square feet

Hence, the surface area of the portion of the cabinet that Miguel is going to paint is: 40 square feet
