This one takes time to type all the math work.
Let me see.
There are two triangles here.
They both have the same area.
A = (1/2)(base)(height) times 2
A = (1/2)(42)(56) times 2
A = 1,176 times 2
A = 2,352 inches^2.
We also have three rectangles. We need to find the area of each rectangle individually.
Area of bottom rectangle = 42 times 72 or 3,024 inches^2.
Area of back rectangle = 56 times 72 or 4,032 inches^2.
Area of slanted rectangle = 70 times 72 0r 5,040 inches^2.
We now add all the areas together to find the total area of the entire figure.
Total Area = 2,352 inches^2 + 3,040 inches^2 + 4,032 inches^2 + 5,040 inches^2
Total area = 14,448 inches^2
Done!
Did you understand what was done here?
