The surface area of the  portion of the cabinet that Miguel is going to paint is: 40 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

As we know, the surface area of the a rectangular prism

SA = 2(lw + lh + wh)

SA= (2lh + wh) This except the top and the bottom areas

SA= (2*6*2 + 4*2)

SA=40 square feet

Hence,  the surface area of the  portion of the cabinet that Miguel is going to paint is: 40 square feet
