Answer:

S = Ph + 2B

p=(5+5+6)=16cm

h=9cm

b=1/2 6×4=12cm²

Explanation:

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The area of the two triangles in the tent is 2(B) = 2(1/2*6*4) = 2*12 = 24 cm^2

There are 3 rectangles left in the figure, two of which have the dimensions 5 by 9: 5*9 = 45, 45(2) = 90 cm^2

The other rectangle has the dimensions 6 by 9: 6*9 = 54 cm^2

S = 24+90+54 = 168 cm^2
