The longer piece of wood has dimensions of 2 inches by 2 inches by 7 inches. The shorter piece of wood has dimensions of 4 inches by 2 inches by 2 inches. How many square inches of purple paint will Lisa use to paint her letter L?

TA of longer piece = 2(lw) + 2(hw) + 2(lh) 2*1*1 +2*6*1 + 2*1*6 = 2 + 12 + 12 = 26 TA of shorter piece = 2(lw) + 2(hw) + 2(lh) = 2*1*1 + 2*3*1 + 2*1*3 = 14 Add the two surface areas together. 26 + 14 = 40 Subtract the area where the two pieces of wood are attached. Because that section will not be painted on either piece of wood, two times that area must be subtracted. 40 - (2*1*1) = how many square inches of purple?
