Question

Find the surface area for the given prism.
I will give you a medal for helping!!!

Answer 1

Find the area of each side of the prism and add all of these areas together.

Answer 2

How do I do that?

Answer 3

Since all of the sides are rectangles you can multiply their length by height and add them together. For example:
\[49*32 + 49*32 + 41*32 + 41*32 + 41*49 + 41*49\] this can of course be simplified to \[2(49*32) + 2(41*32) + 2(41*49)\] which you might notice is the equation for surface area\[2lw+2wh+2lh\]

Answer 4

Then what?

Answer 5

You just solve it...

Answer 6

By adding it all together that gives me the answer?

Answer 7

2(49∗32)+2(41∗32)+2(41∗49) That will give you the answer

Answer 8

Okay thanks!

Answer 9

No problem :)

Answer 10

so it's 9,778?

Answer 11

Yes, that is what I got

Answer 12

Okay so how do I find the volume now?

Answer 13

Just multiply the length by the width by the height

Answer 14

Okay thanks!
