Step #1 - How many surfaces are there?  I count 5.
Step #2 - Are any of them perfect matches?
Step #3 - Are the various surfaces for which we know the area or can calculate it?

umm i don't know how to do that.

tkhunny · Answer

$Triangle\;Area = ½Base\cdot Height$

You need to memorize this formula.  It's just half a rectangle.

Okay, what is the area of that triangle?

tkhunny · Answer

This brings us to the end of the visible pieces.

jdoe0001 has mapped it all out.

1) Another triangle, just like the other one.  +24 for that
2) A bottom rectangle.
3) A rectangle in the back.

Add them up and you'll be done.  Just one piece at a time.

Remember that Triangle Formula!
