Please help me! Will give medal :) What is the surface area of the composite figure? A) 252mm power of 2 B) 264mm power of 2 C) 300mm power of 2 D) 324mm power of 2
@iPwnBunnies help
Break it up into shapes. Find the area of each side of the rectangular prism.
Find the area of each triangle in the pyramid.
ok hold on
It should be a whole number.
One triangle has a base of 6 mm, a height of 4 mm, and there are 4 triangles.
48
now the 4 sides. then the bottom
48 is including the 4 sides
the 48 is the 4 triangles on the top now the rectangles that make the sides
42
yes. what about the other 3 sides? what do the 4 sides add up to ?
28
what is 28 ?
am i doing this wrong? ... i did 7*4 cause there are 4 sides and one side is 7mm
you want the area of each side. each side is a rectangle with 6 across and 7 up one side has area of 6*7= 42 each side has that same area. there are 4 of them. how much is the area of all 4 sides ?
168
so far you know the 4 triangles have area of 48 the 4 "sides" are 168 now the bottom. what is the area of the bottom?
is it 36
yes, the bottom is 6 x 6 = 36 now add up all the areas 48+168+36
252
yes, that is the surface area of the figure. If you were painting it, that is how much you would paint.
thankyou so much!!! :)
