Answer:
34 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The central vertical rectangle in the net is 4 ft wide and ...
2 +1.5 + 2 + 1.5 = 7 . . . . feet high.
The two "wings" are each 2 feet wide and 1.5 feet high.
__
Since the area of a rectangle is given by ...
A = LW
the total area of this figure is ...
area of central rectangle + 2 × wing area
= (4 ft)(7 ft) + 2(2 ft)(1.5 ft)
= 28 ft² +6 ft² = 34 ft²
The area of the prism is 34 square feet.
