Answer:

The total area of the shape is 90cm^2

Explanation:

Here we want to calculate the total area of the shape.

We have 10 different right triangles with each having an equal measure of 3 cm by 6 cm

The area of one of the right triangles can be calculated using the formula;

A = 1/2 * b * h

Where b is the length of the base which is 3cm and h is the length of the height which is 6cm

Plugging these values into the equation above, we have

A = 1/2 * 3 * 6 = 9cm^2

The total area of the shape is thus 9 * 10 = 90 cm^2
