in²
Net of rectangular prism. The top rectangle has a horizontal length of 35 inches. There is a second rectangle below it. One either side of the second rectangle, there is a rectangle with a horizontal length of 24 inches and a vertical length of 30 inches. There are two rectangles below the second rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

area = 5220 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a little difficult to ensure accuracy without a diagram of the net, but from what you have said, the net appears to comprise of:

• 2 rectangles: 35 x 24
• 2 rectangles: 24 x 30
• 2 rectangles: 35 x 30

Therefore, the total area of the net is:

⇒ area = 2(35 x 24) + 2(24 x 30) + 2(35 x 30)

⇒ area = 5220 in²
