Answer:

198 in.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

You need the area of the net that is shown.

The long horizontal rectangle made up of 4 smaller rectangles has length 3 in. + 9 in. + 3 in. + 9 in. = 24 in. Its width is 6 in.

Then there are two congruent rectangles with length 9 in. and width 3 in.

area of rectangle = length * width

total area = 24 in. * 6 in. + 2 * 9 in. * 3 in.

total area = 198 in.^2
