Find the surface area of the figure to the nearest whole number.
Do you know what the composite figure is made up of?
nope
Its made up of a pyramid and a rectangular prism
Do you know what the surface area for those figures are?
no how do I find them
Okay...there's equations for both of them for the pyramid is 1/2pl+B for the rectangular prism: ph + 2B p=perimeter of the base l=slant height h=height B=area of the base
Once you find the surface area for both the figure, find the area of the shared side and subtract from the added surface area of both th efigures
A. 310 ft2 B. 158 ft2 C. 135 ft2 D. 74 ft2
those are the answers to choose from btw
I'm not giving you the answer...you have to figure it out
so the answer would be c ?
?
how did you solve it? plug in the variables for me in both equations so I can see if you did it properly
1/2pl+B and ph + 2B wait so its A then right ?
plug in the numbers for the variables. so what's the perimeter of the pyramid? that's p in the first equation
P=26.4
I think the answer will be 158
P=4.5+4.5+4.5+4.5
ohh
so 18
@smr_kml did you subtract the area of the shared bases?
Yea and then do you know what the slant height of the pyramid is? It's not written so you have to use the pythagorean theorem to find it
ohhhh No!
it's confusing me!
idr how to do that
so I think it's 135 but not sure!
