Answer and explanation:
Surface area of a rectangle = length * width
Surface area of a square = a² where a is length of a side
To find total surface area of the the five pieces of paper, we add up all the areas of all the shapes
Given that length of rectangle =3.5
And width = 2
Area of rectangle =3.5*2=7
Area of 3 rectangles given they are all equal = 7*3=21
Since width of rectangle equal to width of square and all sides of square are equal
Area of square = 2 *2 =4
Area of the two squares =4*2=8
Total surface area of the five plane shapes = 21+8= 29
all the coordinates of the original triangle have been multiplied by 1/2
A (-4,-6) x 1/2 = -2,-3
B (-8,2) * 1/2 = -4,1
C (-2,4) *1/2 = -1,2
so the scale factor is 1/2
Answer is B
I think the answer is 24 hope this helps XD
