Answer:

608 cm²

Explanation:

The central rectangle is 10+12+10 = 32 cm high and 16 cm wide. Its area is ...

A = LW = (32 cm)(16 cm) = 512 cm²

Each of the two triangles on the side have an area of ...

A = 1/2bh = (1/2)(12 cm)(8 cm) = 48 cm²

There are two triangles and one rectangle, so the total surface area is ...

total area = rectangle area + 2 · triangle area

total area = 512 cm² +2(48 cm²) = 608 cm²
