I need help finding the surface area of this shape

Answer:
1030 [tex]yd^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
split it into 2 different rectangular prisms
first one is 27 yd by 8 yd by 9 yd
second is 10yd by 8 yd by 12 yd
Answer:
1494 [yd²].
Step-by-step explanation:
1) the required area can be calculated as (see the attached picture):
A=A1+A2+A3+A4+A5+A6+2*A7;
2) finally,
A=9*8+17*8+8*12+10*8+(12+9)*8+27*8+2*(27*9+12*10);
A=1494 [yd²].
Note, the suggested solution is not the shortest one.
