Answer 1

Answer: The total area Tia need to paint if she paints only one side of the letter= $176\ cm^2$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of first rectangle = $20\times4=80\ cm^2$

Area of second rectangle= $16\times6=96\ cm^2$

Total area =$80+96=176\ cm^2$

Hence, the total area Tia need to paint if she paints only one side of the letter= $176\ cm^2$.
