Answer:
230 cm^2
Explanation:
The area of each parallelogram face is ...
A = bh = (8 cm)(3 cm) = 24 cm^2
The area of the two rectangular faces shown is ...
A = (area of top face) + (area of right side face)
A = (8 cm)(7 cm) +(5 cm)(7 cm) = 91 cm^2
The three faces we have figured the area of are half the total area, since there are three more faces exactly the same size. Then the total area of the figure is ...
total surface area = 2(24 cm^2 +91 cm^2) = 230 cm^2
_____
Of course, the area of a rectangle is given by A=L·W, where L and W represent the length and width of the rectangle.
