@jdoe0001 now?
notice your shapes, both figures are just 2 rectangular "tubes" each is really just 6 rectangles stacked up to each other at the edges so get the area of each of the rectangles and sum them up
sorry i lost connection
i got 160 and 416
@jdoe0001
i got 160 and 416 \(\checkmark\)
so the Area of the whole shape, will be their sum, that is 160 + 416
but what about inteior faces
interior*
hmmm
yes, you're right, you'd need to subtract half of the top rectangle for the small one and that same quantity to the bigger one, since that interior part, of where they join, do not Surface out that'd be a 4x4 and a 4x4 so... (160 - 4 * 4) + (416 - 4*4) => 160-16+416-16 => 144 + 400
thank you, I tried many times but somehow it didnt work
