Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  228 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = 8 in

Wide = 6 in

height = 6 in

Total area = ?

Formula

                  Area = base x height

There are 3 kinds of rectangles

1st rectangle

                  Area = 8 x 6

                           = 48 in²  x 2 = 96 in²

2nd      

                Area = 8 x 6

                         = 48 in² x 2 = 96 in²

3rd

               Area = 6 x 6

                       = 36 in²

Total area = 96 + 96 + 36

                 = 228 in²
