B.29 square inches

C.32 square inches

D.14.5 square inches

Answer 1

The answer should be C.

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

To find surface area you find all the areas of the sides and add them up. We can start by setting up our equations.

A = L x W

For both the sides ——> 2(5 x 0.5) = 5

For both the triangle parts ——> bh/2 ———> (4 x 6)/2 times 2 = 24

For the bottom part ——> 6 x 0.5 = 3

Now to add everything up: 24 + 3 + 5 = 32
