Answer:

1350 square inches

Explanation:

The area of the end trapezoid is ...

A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(12 +36)(5) = 120 . . . . . square inches

The perimeter of the end trapezoid is ...

P = 13 +12 +13 + 3×12 = 74 . . . . inches

so the total area of the rectangular surfaces (including the bottom) is ...

(74 in)(15 in) = 1110 in²

The total area of the ramp is this rectangular area plus the two trapezoidal ends:

total area = rectangle area + 2×trapezoid area

= 1110 in² +2×120 in²

total area = 1350 square inches
