Find the total area https://media.glynlyon.com/g_geo_2013/8/soltri.gif

What we have here is a RECTANGLE and a TRIANGLE. The area of the rectangle is simply BASE x HEIGHT = 3 x 6 = 18. Now for the triangle. It is equilateral, so each interior angle is 60°. Using the area formula A = a*b*sin(C)/2, we get A = 3 x 3 x sin(60) / 2 = (9√3)/4 So the total area is 18 + (9√3)/4 = (72 + 9√3)/4

Oh sorry, didn't realise the figure was 3D.

In that case you already have areas of rectangle and triangle... For surface area, you get 3*rect + 2*triangle
