hmm it helps to use a descriptive material in the posting that way we know whether we can help or not :/

OpenStudy (popitree):

There are three sides which are rectangular. So you can get that part using heightxWidth formula Then other 2 parts are triangle. Use the formula 1/2*(base)*height Height is already given in the pricture

For the triangles I got 41.65

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

notice this picture is a "triangular prism" notice though, it's really just 2 triangles and 3 rectangles stacked up to each other at the edges now, look at yours decompose it in the 2 triangles and 3 rectangles as popitree suggested and find the area of each one then SUM THEM UP and that's the area of the shape :)

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

150.15

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm what did you get for each of the triangles?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
