Jordan built her cat Tuna a new scratching post. She needs to cover the post with carpet. How much carpet does Jordan need to cover the surface of the post, including the bottom?

Answer:3800 square centimetersStep-by-step explanation:We need to find the surface of the rectangular prism shown.The surface area is the area of all the surfaces (including the bottom and top).There are 6 surfaces, top and bottom is squares and 4 sides are rectangles.The area of square is side * side, andThe area of rectangle is length * widthTop Area = 10 * 10 = 100Bottom Area = 10 * 10 = 100Area of 1 side = 90 * 10 = 900Hence, area of 4 of these same sides is:  900 * 4 = 3600Total Surface Area = 3600 + 100 + 100 = 3800Total Carpet Needed = 3800 square centimeters
