Question

How do I find the SURFACE AREA of the shape below.

Answer 1

Area of 2 triangles = 2*(1/2)*6*8

= 48 square ft

Area of 1 rectangle = 10*5

= 50 square ft.

Area of 2nd rectangle = 5*6

= 30 square ft.

Area of 3rd rectangle = 5*8

= 40 square ft.

Surface area of figure = 40+30+50+48

= 168 square ft.
