Find the surface area of the figure to the nearest whole number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what the composite figure is made up of?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its made up of a pyramid and a rectangular prism

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what the surface area for those figures are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no how do I find them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. 310 ft2 B. 158 ft2 C. 135 ft2 D. 74 ft2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those are the answers to choose from btw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not giving you the answer...you have to figure it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer would be c ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you solve it? plug in the variables for me in both equations so I can see if you did it properly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2pl+B and ph + 2B wait so its A then right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in the numbers for the variables. so what's the perimeter of the pyramid? that's p in the first equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P=26.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the answer will be 158

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P=4.5+4.5+4.5+4.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@smr_kml did you subtract the area of the shared bases?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh No!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's confusing me!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idr how to do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I think it's 135 but not sure!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1342669751372:dw| Do you know how to do the pythagorean theorem?
