It looks like the shape is made of 6 equal sized squares. So, to find the total area, we could take the area of a single square and multiply that by 6. The area of a single square would be 4*4, so the area of the entire shape is 4*4*6

P2god1:

??? not a optionn

SmokeyBrown:

Ah, 4*4*6 is equal to 6*4*4, which is also equal to 4*6*4. One of those is an option, right?

Mustang:

You deserve that medal! Good Explanations with vaild reasoning! Good Work SmokeyBrown!

SmokeyBrown:

Multiplication is a "commutative" operation, which means that the numbers can come in any order, and you will get the same result. That's why 4*4*6 and 6*4*4 both equal the same thing. Thanks Mustang! I appreciate it :)
