Hey love! <3
Answer:
Your answer is 306 units^2!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's work this out together!
First let's find the top and bottom square's area.
6 x 15 = 90
Since there are not only two of those shapes but THREE, 90 x 3= 270.
So 270 is the surface area of the middle rectangles.
Step 2! Let's find the area of these triangles. We know that both of the triangles are 6 on each side.
Think back to geometry formulas. The formula for finding the area of a triangle is different then a square.
Triangle formula: Base x Height / 2 = A
Rectangle formula: Base x Height = A
So 6 x 6 is 36, now we have to divide it by two; which equals 18.
Since there are TWO triangles, we multiply 18 by two giving us the total surface area of the triangles, 36.
Now let's add our products together!
36 + 270 = 306
Thus the total surface area being 306 units^2
