4 triangles: 4(6)/2=12
square: 4(4)=16

SA= 12+12+12+12+16

Answer:

Area of the figure = 64 cm²

Explanation:

To find the total surface area (TSA) of the figure, we must add the areas of the 4 triangles along with the area of the square.

Given,

  • Altitude of triangle (h) = 6 cm
  • Base of triangle (b) = 4 cm
  • Side of the square (h) = 4 cm

By using these values,

  • Area of the triangle = ½ bh
  • Area of the triangle = ½ × 6 × 4
  • Area of the triangle = ½ × 24
  • Area of the triangle = 12 cm²

Now,

  • Area of the square = s²
  • Area of the square = 4²
  • Area of the square = 16 cm²

So, from this,

  • Area of the figure = (4 × Area of the triangle) + Area of the square
  • Area of the figure = (4 × 12) + 16
  • Area of the figure = (48) + 16
  • Area of the figure = 64 cm²

•°• The TSA of the figure is 64 cm².
