Answer:

170 in^2

Explanation:

you have to find the area of each surface of the square

1) the square on the right side:

5x5=25 in^2

there are 2 of these on opposite sides

2)the of the rectangle facing us;

6x5=30in^2 (5 because 5 is the height)

there are 4 of these

3)add up all the areas

25+25+30+30+30+30=170in^2
