Answer:

26.75 units²

Explanation:

Cube Area: A = l²

Triangle Area: A = 1/2bh

Step 1: Find area of biggest triangle

A = 1/2(3.5)(2 + 2 + 5)

A = 1.75(9)

A = 15.75

Step 2: Find area of 2nd biggest triangle

A = 1/2(5)(2)

A = 1/2(10)

A = 5

Step 3: Find area of smallest triangle

A = 1/2(2)(2)

A = 1/2(4)

A = 2

Step 4: Find area of cube

A = 2²

A = 4

Step 5: Add all the values together

A = 15.75 + 5 + 2 + 4

A = 20.75 + 2 + 4

A = 22.75 + 4

A = 26.75
