Answer: 38 in.^{2}
Explanation:
1/ Find the area of the triangular sides. (1/2 x 2 x 6 =
for each triangular side)
2/ Find the area of each of the rectangular sides. In this case, the bottom (base) side is 2x6 =
. The rectangular side on the left is 2x3 =
, and the rectangular side on the right is 4x2 =
.
3/ Add everything together. Rectangular Sides + Triangular Sides = Surface Area --->
![12 in.^(2) + 6 in.^(2) + 8 in.^(2) + 6 in.^(2) + 6 in.^(2) = 38 in.^(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/7c1v2wmtwcanw8l6v8si7z1g0dqv9kjwxl.png)
4/ You have your answer, now hope it helps ! :)
