sorry this is a very bad drawing,, but can I please get some help?

@e.cociuba

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

same ideas as last time where we did this one http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/515a3840e4b07077e0c11e44 the only difference is that the numbers are changed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you give me the solution to solve?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what's the area of the base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or 3.4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

1.7 is the length of the side of the square

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(1.7)^2 = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.89

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the area of each triangular piece

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.29?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I added all sides

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Area of triangle A = (b*h)/2 A = (4.8*1.7)/2 A = ???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I recommend writing down each area and perimeter formula on a note sheet so you can look them up quickly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.08

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, now multiply that by 4 afterwards, add that to 2.89

OpenStudy (anonymous):

19.21

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

perfect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you got 16.32 for the lateral surface area 2.89 was the base area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okai

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so total surface area = base area + lateral surface area total surface area = 2.89 + 16.32 just summing things up (you probably already know by now)
