That's where the
2 comes from.
Find the surface area on paper.
Start with the first part of the formula,
2(lxh) then continue to check.
2(6x4)=48
start with 2(         )
l    h
x
2(6x4)=48
        Next 2(         )
2(3x4)=24
w   h
x
2(6x4)=48
        Next 2(         )
2(3x4)=24
l     w
x
2(6x3)=36
2(6x4)=48
Now add the totals
48+24+36=108cm2
2(3x4)=24
2(6x3)=36
