Answer:

280 in ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi ok heres how I did this:

SA of rectangular prism: S = 2(lw + lh + wh)

SA of triangle top thing(whats it called???): Surface area = (Perimeter of the base × Length of the prism) + (2 × Base Area) = (S1 + S2+ S3)L + bh

So basically for the square part, the surface area is

2(4*4+4*12+4*12), or 224

For the triangle part, the surface area is

4+4+4, or 12*4+2*4, or 48+8, or  56

224+56=280

The thing is I don't know why it says round though. Theres a chance its incorrect if they want something with a decimal. Let me know.
