To find the area of the circus tent's entrance, we need to find the total surface area of the entrance.

Surface area = 2(length x width) + 2(width x height)

In this case, the sizes of the entrance are 3cm, 4cm, and 6cm. Let's plug these into our formula:

Surface area = 2(3 x 4) + 2(4 x 6)
Surface area = 2(12) + 2(24)
Surface area = 24 + 48
Surface area = 72 cm2

Therefore, the area of the circus tent's entrance is 72 cm2. However, the options provided are in m2, so we need to convert it to square meters.

1 cm2 is equal to 0.0001 m2
Therefore, 72 cm2 = 0.0072 m2

So, the closest answer provided is 24 m2, which is the correct option.
opps i meant meters not cm
No problem! If we convert the entrance measurements from cm to meters, we get:

3 cm = 0.03 meters
4 cm = 0.04 meters
6 cm = 0.06 meters

Now we can calculate the surface area of the entrance using the same formula as before:

2(length x width) + 2(width x height)

Surface area = 2(0.03 x 0.04) + 2(0.04 x 0.06)
Surface area = 2(0.0012) + 2(0.0024)
Surface area = 0.0024 + 0.0048
Surface area = 0.0072 m2

Therefore, the area of the circus tent's entrance, in square meters, is 0.0072 m2.
