Answer:

Explanation:

We need to analyze the surface

Look at the L shape, it has a mirror image at the back, which is symmetrical to the front side

Then,

area of rectangle = length × breadth

The L shape can be divided into two plane shape

1. A rectangle of length 10in and breadth 6in,

Then, A=l×b=10×6 = 60in²

2. To a square of side a=4in

Then, A=s²=4²=16in²

Then, the total area of one side of the L shape is

A=60+16=76in²

Also, the total area of the two L shape is =2×76

A=152in²

Then, let look at the back side of the solid and the front side, they are also symmetrical.

It forms a rectangle of length 10in and breadth 6in

Then, A= l×b=10×6=60in²

Area of the two sides is =60×2

A=120in²

The total are of the front and back side is 120in²

A=120in²

Let take a look at the top and bottom, they are also symmetrical and has a dimension of length 10in and breadth 6in

Then, A=l×b=10×6=60in²

So, total area =2×60 =120in²

The total area of the shape is the total area of top+ total are of the sides + total area of the L shape

Total area=152+120+120=392in²

A(total)=392in²

Then, the total area of the solid shape is 392in²

The first option is correct
