What is the area of this design? i really need

The answer is 488 in ^ 2:

Base= 8 x 8 = 64
Face 1= 8 x 8 = 64
Face 2= 9 x 8 = 72
Face 3= 12 x 8 = 96

For the sides, split the shape into 2: a square and a triangle and calculate separately, then add them up.

Side 1= 8 x 4 = 64
            12-8 = 4
            4 x 8 = 32
Repeat once more then add up all the results

SA= 32 + 32 + 64 + 64 + 64 + 64 + 72 + 96
     = 488

The key is the word about, they want an estimation.63 is closer to 60, 71 is closer to 7060 + 70 = 130ryan counted about 130 birds
