Answer 1

1.75 meters² or 175 centimeters²

Explanation:

Step 1: Find Area of the Base.

• Base is a square with dimensions of 7cm by 7cm
• 
  `7*7`

• 49 cm²

Step 2: Find the Area of the Triangles.

• Each triangle has a base of 7cm and a height of 9cm.
• 7 x 9 = 63, and 63/2 = 31.5
• 31.5 x 4 = 126 cm²

Step 3: Add the areas together.

• 
  `49+126`
• 175 cm²

Thus, the surface area is 1.75 m^2 or 175 cm^2.
