I got this one wrong..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
first of all find the surface area of upper one then the lower one then add them
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How do i find the surface area, adding?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Im not sure.since i got it wrong last time i tried.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oj you can find the curved surface area of upper one using this
perimeter times height

p * h= 40*10=400
OpenStudy (anonymous):
don't count the base area of the uppre one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you mean the 5 or the 15?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is there any 15 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5 or 13*

for the uppe one use perimeter times height
that is perimeter = (5+12+13)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and height will be 10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for the lower one use 2h(l+b)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
30*10=300
OpenStudy (jhannybean):
don't you multiply it by 2 since there are 2 triangles at the top?

20(12+10) ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and in this case height is 10 and breadth and lenght is 10 and 12

krit upper figure, we have added extra of 10x12 and missed the two triangles
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait..im confused now.. am i doing it wrong?

yah @ ganeshie8
OpenStudy (jhannybean):
Id say start over nowthatyou have a figure infront of you.
OpenStudy (jhannybean):
Can you identify what the bases for the two figures are first?
OpenStudy (jhannybean):
You want to identify the bases because when you're calculating Surface Area, you do not want to include the bases in your calculations.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12 and 13?

The bases are not just numbers, but rather areas of figures.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh..so 5 + 13= 18 is the base of the triangle?
