Question

Find the surface area of the figure below.

Answer 1

To find the surface area we deconstruct the figure then add all the areas together.

The area of the rectangle on the bottom is 8*6 or 48.
The side rectangles are 5*6 or 30. 
The two triangles are $\frac{8*3}{2}$ or 12.

48+30+30+12+12= 132.

Hope this helps!
