Three parallel-plate capacitors are constructed, each having the same plate spacing d and with C1 having plate

Question:

Three parallel-plate capacitors are constructed, each having the same plate spacing d and with C1 having plate area A1, C2 having area A2, and C3 having area A3. Show that the total capacitance C of the three capacitors connected in parallel is the same as that of a capacitor having plate spacing d and plate area A = A1 + A2 + A3.
