Answer:
576 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of sections in a suncatcher (n) = 6
Each section is in the shape of a parallelogram.
Base of parallelogram = 12 cm
Height of parallelogram = 8 cm
Now, area of a parallelogram is given as:
Area of parallelogram = Base × Height
Area of 1 parallelogram = 12 cm × 8 cm = 96 cm²
Now, there are 6 parallelogram shaped sections.
So, area of the sections = area of 1 section × total number of sections
∴ Area of 6 sections = 96 cm² × 6 = 576 cm²
Therefore, the total area of the sections of a suncatcher is 576 cm².
