Question

Each triangle in the net below has a base of 6 centimeters and a height of 8 centimeters. What is the surface area, in square centimeters, of the figure represented by the net? helpppppp i need help pls

Answer 1

The area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height.

The area of the triangle is 1/2 x 6 x 8 = 24 square cm.

There are 4 identical triangles so 24 x 4 = 96 square cm.

The area of the square base = 6 x 6 = 36 square cm.

Total area = 96 + 36 = 132 square cm.
