$Look\ at\ the\ picture.\\\\2\ sides:\ 15cm\times15cm\\\\Area:A_1=2\times(15cm\times15cm)=2\times225cm^2=450cm^2\\\\4\ sides:15cm\times20cm\\\\Area:A_2=4\times(15cm\times20cm)=4\times300cm^2=1200cm^2\\\\Area\ of\ the\ block:\\\\A=A_1+A_2\\\\\boxed{A=450cm^2+1200cm^2=1650cm^2}$

In order to figure this out you need to use Descartes Rule. I attached a picture showing Descartes Rule. If the signs changes for when x is positive then the number of times it changes are the possible positive solution. If the sign changes when x is negative then the number of times it changes are the possible negative solutions. With that said the answer is A. View the picture I have attached for the possible + - and imaginary solutions.

Answer = A) One possible positive solution.
