![\huge \boxed{\mathrm{36√(3) +72 \ mm^2}}](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/nr7stxetj7kn8hhbpazemstgycfh5pb88r.png)
Explanation:
The height of the triangle is important to find the area of the rectangle.
We can split the triangle in half, we get a right triangle.
Apply Pythagorean theorem to solve for the height.
3² + b² = 6²
b² = 6² - 3²
b² = 36 - 9
b² = 27
![b= 3√(3)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/danhbr1x159aa2twslnelfj1y0li0sxy4j.png)
The length of the rectangle is 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 mm
The width is 3 +
+ 3 =
mm
The area of a rectangle is length × width.
