Answer:
197 in ^2 (answer B of the list)
Explanation:
Notice that this figure has a total of 6 faces, four of which are rectangles (whose area is calculated as "base times height") and two trapezoids (whose area is (B+b)H/2 ).
The total surface area is therefore the addition of these six areas:
Rectangles:
5 in x 5 in = 25 in^2
5 in x 5 in = 25 in^2
5 in x 6.4 in = 32 in^2
9 in x 5 in = 45 in^2
Trapezoids:
Two of equal dimensions: B = 9 in, b = 5 in, H = 5 in
2 * (9 in + 5 in) 5 in /2 = 70 in^2
Which gives a total of (25 + 25 + 32+45 + 70) in^2 = 197 in^2
This agrees with answer B of he provided list.
