Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a 3-dimensional line diagram of a truck that appears as two adjoining rectangular prisms placed on two visible wheels. The rectangular prism on the left, representing the cab section of the truck, has a height of 3 inches and a horizontal length of 2 inches. The rectangular prism on the right, or the cargo section, is 6 inches high. The back of the truck is marked as 3 inches deep. The total horizontal length of the two prisms combined is 11 inches.

A toy truck is comprised of a rectangular cab and a shipping container that it is carrying. What is the total surface area of the truck (excluding the wheels)?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The total surface area of the truck (excluding the wheels) can be calculated by adding the surface areas of the cab and the cargo sections.

Surface area of the cab:
2 (2 inches * 3 inches) + 2 (2 inches * 3 inches) + 2 (2 inches * 3 inches)
= 12 + 12 + 12
= 36 square inches

Surface area of the cargo section:
2 (6 inches * 11 inches) + 2 (6 inches * 11 inches) + 2 (6 inches * 3 inches)
= 132 + 132 + 36
= 300 square inches

Total surface area of the truck:
36 square inches (cab) + 300 square inches (cargo)
= 336 square inches

The correct answer choice is:
228 in.2
228 in. squared
