Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the shape looks like a cube.. and maybe they say something about that outside of the picture, even but assuming that it is a cube, we know all the sides are the same.
we also know that the area of one side of the cube is 3
so multiply that
W x L = area
3 * 3
= area
10 = area
10.5625 = area
those two answer above are the same .. just one is in fractions and one is in decimals
there are 6 sides on a cube, so multiply the above answer by 6
6* answer = 63.375
63 ( this is your answer)
both of those are also identical , but look different for the reasons I mentioned above
use which ever from seems better to you. :)
