OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Did you use a^2 + b^2 = c^2??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The surface area formula is SA= PH+2b

OpenStudy (linn99123):

D: im lost omg D:

OpenStudy (linn99123):

its not lxhxsxwx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you think it is d, go ahead

OpenStudy (linn99123):

D: im scaredn ow

OpenStudy (linn99123):

i don wunna fail

OpenStudy (radar):

Look at what you got. 1 ea. front panel 8 X 13 sq yd 2 ea triangular sides at 1/2 X 5 X 12 1 ea bottom 5 X 8 1 ea back 12 X 8 Do you see that is what you are dealing with.

OpenStudy (radar):

Figure the area of these 5 figures, add them, and you will have the total surface area.

OpenStudy (radar):

Front panel: 8 X 13 = 104 Sq Yd side panels 1/2 X 5 X 8 = 20, but there are 2 ea so that is 40 more sq yds. bottom: 5 X 8 =40 sq yd. back: 12 X 8 = 96 Add em up. Be careful.

OpenStudy (7thgrader):

@radar i got 280 :/

OpenStudy (radar):

I erred on the dimensions of the side panels 30 each or a total of 60 sq yd. I don't think the 280 sq yd is correct more like 300
