The top part of the shape would be (8×6)×1/2 to get that side. since it's the same as the bottom, multiply by that by two. so as of right now, you have two sides done (top and bottom sides). Next, lets do the side closest to us in the picture. since its a rectangle, all you have to do is 8×4. Add that to the answer we got earlier from the top and bottom sides. that gives us three sides done. we are going to do the one behind it next. That's a triangle as well. we will do 10×4 to get the area of that side. we will add that to get the total of 4 out of the 5 sides. Lastly, we will do the remaining side. 6×4. Add the answer of 6×4 to the earlier answer and that will get you the suface area of the whole shape. If you have follow up questions or wondering where i got each of the numbers from, comment and i will get back to you. Hope this helps and ignore any typos.
The possible values for | x-y | > 0 is any number above 0. x must be greater than y. When | x-y | = 0, That means that x and y are equal to each other. | x-y | can not be less than 0, but it can equal 0.
