Homework Statement
The drawing shows an edge-on view of two planar surfaces that intersect and are mutually perpendicular. Surface 1 has an area of 1.2 m², while surface 2 has an area of 3.5 m². The electric field E in the drawing is uniform and has a magnitude of 246 N/C.

What's the electric flux through surface 1? What about surface 2?
Homework Equations
[tex]\Phi = EAcos\Theta[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
For #1, I attempted to do 246*1.2*cos(55°), which is incorrect at 169.3197 Nm²/C.
What exactly am I screwing up here?
