The total area of the geometric shape formed by this net is 340 square inches
Calculating the area of the geometric shape formed by this net
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
The net of the geometric shape
Where
m = 10 in and n = 12 in
The total area of the geometric shape is the sum of the individual shapes
Where, we have the following shapes and dimensions:
Square: 10 in by 10 in
4 triangles: 10 in by 12 in
Using the area formulas, we have the following:
Square = 10 in * 10 in = 100 square inches
4 triangles = 4 * 1/2 * 10 in * 12 in = 240 square inches
Add up the individual areas
Area = 100 + 240
Evaluate the expression
Surface area = 340
Hence. the total area of the figure is 340 square inches
