Answer: 626 yd^2
Step-by-step explanation: First you need to split the figure into 2 rectangular prisms (see attached image). The tallest rectangular prism has a length of 12 yd, a width of 3 yd, and a height of 11 yd. The shorter one has a length of 12yd, a width of 4 yd, and a height of 4 yd. The surface area equation is SA=2(wl+hl+hw). First solve for the taller rectangular prism. SA=2(3x12+11x12+11x3). SA=2(36+132+33). SA=2(201). SA=402 yd^2. Now solve for the smaller rectangular prism. SA=2(4x12+4x12+4x4). SA=2(48+48+16). SA=2(112). SA=224 yd^2. Lastly, add both values together. 402+224=626 yd^2.
