Pls help me with this question!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

just think a little bit.

congruent rectangles means they are all of equal size.

so, the sizes of all of these rectangles are 3×4.

therefore, the area of each one is 3×4 = 12 cm².

the total surface area (without the top

and bottom stars) is the sum of the areas of all rectangles.

how many rectangles are there ?

well, every "arm" of the star has 2 rectangle sides. and there are 5 "arms". so, there are 2×5 = 10 rectangles.

now it is really easy, right ?

we have 10 rectangles, each one with an area of 12 cm².

so the total surface area (without the star bases) is

12×10 = 120 cm²

168

step-by-step explanation:

i am pretty sure that the answer is 168
