Answer by wilft1(217) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
there are 2 circles for height and 3 for width, the radius is half the dimeter, so your length for 3 circles will be 3 cm x 2 (for your diameter) = 6, there are 3 circles, so 6 x 3 = 18 that is your width for your rectangle
the height has 2 circles, we do the same thing, we already know the diameter is 6, and there are 2 circles, so 6 x 2 = 12 thats our height
the area is L x W, so 18 x 12 = 216 square cm
hope this helps :)
