[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the total surface area of the sawhorse, we need to calculate the surface area of each of its three rectangular faces and then sum them up.

The surface area of the sawhorse can be calculated using the formula:
Total Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Where:
l = length = 27 inches
w = width = 19 inches
h = height = 39 inches

Substitute the values into the formula:
Total Surface Area = 2(27)(19) + 2(27)(39) + 2(19)(39)
Total Surface Area = 1026 + 2106 + 1482
Total Surface Area = 4614 square inches

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the total surface area of Kyms's sawhorse is 4614.00 square inches.
