But this is asking for surface area. Would that formula still work?

Sorry! I misread! Moment!

ok thanks.

Surface area would be the total area of it. So you have two triangles. You would do base of triangle * height * 1/2 = area of one triangle. since you have two, double it.

Then for the bottom, it's just 24*16.

And lastly for the surfaces at a slope. One of their area is 16*13, double it to get both.

Add it all up for a surface area. Can you do it?
