Question

Please help me understand this math problem! :D​

Answer 1

Answer:

48 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of each shape.

2 triangles- [bxh]x1/2

(4 times 3)(divided by 2) = 6, but there are 2 triangles so 6+6=12

Square- (l x w)

3 times 3 (You get the other three from the other side of the rectangle) =9

Left rectangle- (l x w)

3 times 4 = 12

Right rectangle- (l x w)

5 times 3 (You get the three from the side of the square) = 15

Total: 2 triangles Area + Square Area  + Left rectangle Area+ Right rectangle Area = Surface Area

12 + 9 + 12 + 15 = 48 cm^2

Hope this helps!!
