The surface area of the three-dimensional figure is
souare centimeters.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The surface area is just the area of this net. If you fold up the net it will give you a hollow 3-d shape.

On this net we have three congruent rectangles and two congruent triangles.

We see that each rectangle has a short side of 10 cm and a long side of 15 cm. The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the long side by the short side.

15×10=150

So, each rectangle has an area of 150 cm².

Now, for the triangles. To find the area of a triangle you multiply the base by the height and then divide by two.

Each triangle has a base of 10 cm and a height 8 2/3 cm.

We multiply them.

10×8 2/3=86 2/3

And we divide by two.

86 2/3 ÷ 2 = 43 1/3

So, each triangle has an area of 43 1/3.  

Now, we add together the areas of our three rectangles and two triangles.

150+150+150+43 1/3+43 1/3=536 2/3

Therefore, the surface area is 536 2/3 cm².

Have a wonderful day!
