The 12m is on the bottom not the side by the way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Surface area = area of all of the sides there are 5 sides area of rectangles = base * height area of triangles = 0.5*base*height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be 0.5 x 12 x 10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, the triangle is the top and bottom piece each triangle = 0.5*9*12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 108

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what i got for the 2 triangles. now you have to calculate the areas of the three remaining rectangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did 0.5 * 9 * 12 * 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360 for what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360 for the area of rectangles. I got 468m2 as my total is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks right
