Identify the surface area of the composite figure.
explain it step-by-step.

128 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area is sum of the area of all the surfaces.

In the bottom portion, There are 5 squares (each 4 * 4 dimension) -- front, back, 2 sides, and bottom.

The area of 5 of these are:

5 * (4 * 4) = 80

In the top portion, there are 4 triangles each with dimensions height = 6 and length = 4, so the area of triangle is 1/2 * length * height. Hence, the area of 4 of these are:

4 * ( 1/2 * length * height = 1/2 * 4 * 6  = 12)

= 4 * 12

= 48

Hence total surface area = 80 + 48 = 128 square meters.

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
