Question

If m = 4 in and n = 6 in, what is the surface area of the geometric shape formed by this net?

A. 52 sq in
B. 56 sq in
C. 40 sq in
D. 64 sq in

Answer 1

the answer is 64 sq. in

Explanation:

first you need to find the area of the triangle

a =1/2 bh

= 1/2 (4 in) (6 in)

= 12 sq. in

then find the area of the square

area = lw

=(4 in) (4 in)

= 16 sq in.

then add

Surface area = 4 (12 sq in.) + 16 sq. in

= 64 sq. in
