What is the surface area of the figure?

The surface area if the figure is all of the areas added together.
Find all the areas by splitting the shape into different pieces:
We can first start with the triangle.
The triangle area is: 1/2(b)(h)
1/2(4)(3)
2(3)
Triangle Area: 6
Now, we can find the area of the rectangles. You can find this by multiplying base × height:
3 · 4 = 12
4 · 1.5 = 6
Now add all your areas to get your surface area:
12 + 6 + 6 = 24 cm²
Answer:
24 cm²
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a triangle and two rectangles.
Calculate each of these figures's area individually and add them together.
Let's begin with the triangle.
[tex]A=\frac{hb}{2}[/tex]
height: 3cm
base: 4cm
[tex]A=\frac{(3cm)(4cm)}{2} \\A=\frac{12cm^2}{2}\\ A=6cm^2[/tex]
Now let's do the same with the rectangle next to the triangle
[tex]A=l*w[/tex]
length: 4cm
width: 3cm
I can determine the length to be 4cm because the total length is 8cm and the base of the triangle has 4cm. Therefore, 8-4=4
[tex]A=(4cm)(3cm)\\A=12cm^2[/tex]
Let's do the same with the last rectangle underneath the one above.
[tex]A=l*w[/tex]
length: 4cm
width: 1.5cm
[tex]A=(4cm)(1.5cm)\\A=6cm^2[/tex]
Now add all these areas together:
[tex]6cm^2\\12cm^2\\6cm^2[/tex]
-----------
[tex]24cm^2[/tex]
