Answer:

C. 71.2 in²

Explanation:

We have the square in the base with side a = 4in and four triangles with base a = 4in and height h = 6.9in.

The formula of an area of a square:

A = a²

Substitute:

As = 4² = 16 in²

The formula of an area of a triangle:

A = (ah)/2

Substitute:

At = [(4)(6.9)]/2 = 27.6/2 = 13.8 in²

The Surface Area:

S.A. = As + 4At

Substitute:

S.A. = 16 + 4(13.8) = 16 + 55.2 = 71.2 in²
