Question

Find the surface area of the composite figure

Answer 1

144 cm²

Explanation:

This figure is formed by rectangles and triangles, so we need to find the surface area of they and add all to have the surface area of the figure:

area of the rectangles:

4×3 = 12, and there are two of these rectangles

6×3 = 18, and there are just one of that

4×6 = 24, and there are two of these

5×3 = 15, and there are two of these

Now the area of a triangle:

6×4/2 = 12, and there are two of these

12×2 + 18 + 24×2 + 15×2 + 12×2 = 144 cm²
