5A)36 5b)30(mark as brainliest)

Step-by-step explanation:

5a)6+6+6+6+12 = 36

5b)36-8=28

28+2 = 30

a: The answer is 36 units squared

b: You would lose four square units

Step-by-step explanation:

a: You can count the pieces showing, but you also have to add the amount you cannot see, which would give you a total of 36 units squared (since it doesn't say what each unit is represented by

b: The bottom pieces that originally were not showing would now be showing, but you would lose the ones above it. These cancel out from each other. There are 4 other sides that are now no longer showing since the others that are still showing still were anyways, so there are 4 units squared missing from the surface area when you remove the top two blocks.
