please help will give medals
What is the surface area of the composite figure? A rectangular prism with a square base pyramid attached to the top. The square base of the rectangular prism has sides measuring 6 millimeters, the prism's height is 7 millimeters. The pyramid has a square base with side lengths of 6 millimeters, and a slant height of 4 millimeters. two hundred fifty-two square millimeters two hundred sixty-four square millimeters three hundred square millimeters three hundred twenty-four square millimeters
I'd be happy to help. Medal or no medal :-)
Surface area=area of base + area of sides Do you understand the idea of surface area? example: for a cube you would have to find the area of one side and then multiply this by 6 because all sides have the same area (base*height)
ok
So for the figure sits on a base (bottom floor) what is the area of this?
base is 36
Then we have four rectangular faces,each having area 7mm*6mm=42 mm squared
correct base is 36 mm squared
12 * 4 = 48 which equals all the triangle
126 is the answer
Yes you are correct for all the triangular faces
Not quite each rectangular face has area 42mm squared so we multiply times 4 42*4= 168 so our final answer add them all up 168+36+48= 252 square millimeters
thank you for the help
I think you got it maybe you misunderstood and quickly thought when I wrote 42mm for the rectangular faces that I had added it 4 times or multiplied it by 4 already...great job!!!
you are welcome!
126 isnt an option
