A. 846 square inches
B. 630 square inches
C. 320 square inches
D. 990 square inches

A 846 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the net:

Rectangle 1: (21 in + 3 in + 21 in + 3 in) by 15 in.

Rectangle 2: 21 in by 3 in

Rectangle 3: 21 in by 3 in

total area = sum of areas of 3 rectangles above.

total area = (48 in * 15 in) + 2(21 in * 3 in)

total area = 720 in^2 + 126 in^2

total area = 801 in^2

A 846 square inches
