Just take it apart, look at it in terms of a parallelogram, a rectangle, and a triangle. Solve for individual areas, add them up.

2(8 times4)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2(8 times 5)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Whole front is (not counting the triangular part on top is): 6*4
Back is the same, so:
2*6*4=48
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2(5 times 6)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Two sides are both 4*8, so 2*4*8=64

2(4 times 8) :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The sides of the roof are just two more rectangles:
2*5*8=80
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Finally the two triangular parts:
Area of a triangle = (1/2)b*h=(1/2)*6*4=12
Both triangles: 2*12=24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
216?

2(6 times 4) + 2(5 times 8) + 2(4 times 8) + 24?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
216?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sum them all up, since the bottom is empty:
48+64+80+24=216
OpenStudy (anonymous):
GOOD JOB!
