And please tell how you get the answer! thanks

So just find the area of each side
10 x 20 = the bottom
5 x 10 = side 1
5 x 10 = side 2
5 x 20 = side 3
5 x 20 = side 4
add them all together

10*20=200*5=1000
OpenStudy (nehemias123):
do you get it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait sorry sorry
its asking for feet but youre giving in yards
so there are three feet in a yard
so just multiply everything by 3
OpenStudy (nehemias123):
i know
OpenStudy (hannaha):
Okay, @NEHEMIAS123 1,000 was wrong too.
