Answer:

D

Explanation:

Formula

SA = 2*triangles + 2 * rectangles on the east and west + 1 base rectangle

Triangles

Area = 1/2 * b * h

Area = 1/2 * 6 * 4

Area = 12

But there are 2 of them so the surface area = 24

Base

Area = L * W

Area = 6* 3

Area = 18

Other 2 rectangles

Area one of them = L * W

L = 5

W = 3

Area one of them = 5*3

Area one of them = 15

But there are 2 of them so the area = 2*15 = 30

Total area = 24 + 18 + 30

Total area = 72

D
