To calculate the area of an object based on the given dimensions \(X = 3\) cm, \(Y = 4\) cm, and \(Z = 5\) cm, we need to clarify the shape of the object.
If we assume that it is a rectangle where \(X\) and \(Y\) are the sides, the area \(A\) would be calculated as:
\[
A = X \times Y = 3 \, \text{cm} \times 4 \, \text{cm} = 12 \, \text{square centimeters}.
\]
If the object is a rectangle whose sides are \(X\) and \(Z\), we would calculate:
\[
A = X \times Z = 3 \, \text{cm} \times 5 \, \text{cm} = 15 \, \text{square centimeters}.
\]
If the object's dimensions relate to a different shape, such as a triangle or something else, we would need the specific formula for that shape.
However, none of the provided options (A. 32, B. 20, C. 36, D. 40 square centimeters) match these calculations.
Without additional context about the shape of the object or how \(X\), \(Y\), and \(Z\) relate to its area, it's not possible to definitively answer which of the options would be correct. Could you please clarify the shape of the object or the context for the dimensions given?
