Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 52 square meters.

Explanation:

Answer 2

`A=52m²`

1) We can see in the picture, the net surface of that box.

2) We can perfectly tell the following rectangles:

2 Rectangles 3x2

2 rectangles 4x3

2 rectangles 4x2

So we can write out the following for the surface area, considering the Area of each rectangle:

`\begin{gathered} 2*\left(3*2\right)=12m² \\ 2*\left(4*3\right)=24m² \\ 2*\left(4*2\right)=16m² \\ -------------- \\ A=52m² \end{gathered}`
