Answer:

Surface area = 85.84 ft²

Explanation:

Considering the fact that large rectangle area = 6 x 12 = 72 ft²

Also, the two triangles area => 2(0.5 * base * height) = 2(4 x 3.46 x 0.5) = 13.84 ft²

Hence, the total surface area is

72 + 13.84 = 85.84 ft²

Therefore, the surface area of the fabric is 85.84ft²
