Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the surface area, which will essentially just be the areas of all the figures given in the net.
We have two congruent triangles and 3 different rectangles.
<u>Triangles</u>:
The area of a triangle is denoted by: A = (1/2) * b * h, where b is the base and h is the height. The base here is 3 and the height is 4, so:
A = (1/2) * b * h
A = (1/2) * 3 * 4 = 6
Since there are two triangles, multiply 6 by 2: 6 * 2 = 12 cm squared
<u>Rectangles</u>:
The area of a rectangle is denoted by: A = b * h, where b is the base and h is the height.
The base of the leftmost rectangle is 4 and the height is 7, so:
A = b * h
A = 4 * 7 = 28
The base of the middle rectangle is 3 and the height is 7, so:
A = b * h
A = 3 * 7 = 21
The base of the rightmost rectangle is 5 and the height is 7, so:
A = b * h
A = 5 * 7 = 35
Add these together:
12 + 28 + 21 + 35 = 96 cm squared
The answer is thus A.
