First find the surface area of the 4 triangles
OpenStudy (dan815):
Then add the surface area of the square on the bottom
OpenStudy (dan815):
The surface are of one triangle is 1/2 b* h , which is 1/2*4*9
OpenStudy (dan815):
Surface area of the square is 4*4
OpenStudy (vera_ewing):
Ok... so I got A as my answer

4 Triangles = 4* 1/2*4*9
1 square = 4*4
add them all together
4* 1/2*4*9 + 4*4 = Answer
OpenStudy (vera_ewing):
Ok its 200 right?
OpenStudy (dan815):
nope

What is the surface area of just one of those triangles?
OpenStudy (vera_ewing):
36
OpenStudy (dan815):
try again
OpenStudy (dan815):
Area of Triangle = 1/2 * b * h
OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

@dan815 am i right?
OpenStudy (dan815):
sorry i was doing something and yes
18
now we have 4 triangles so
4*18 = 72
and we have the square on the bottom which is 4*4 = 16
72+16 = 88
