Please help I suck at math and I am so stressed with this question that I am literally on the verge of crying

608 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the 3 rectangles.

Rectangle 1 = 10 x 16 = 160

Rectangle 2 = 16 x 12 = 192

Rectangle 3 = 16 x 10 = 160

Now find the area of the triangle using the formula:

x Base x height

= x 8 x 12 = 48

Both the triangles are similar, so you don't have to calculate again.

Finally add all the areas to get the surface area.

160 + 192 + 160 + 48 + 48 = 608 cm²

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
