@hartnn

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

When I do this my answer is 184cm2

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

but the answer is telling me it's 136cm2

OpenStudy (demandandsupply):

So surface area is just the addition of the areas of each side. So, I get 168...

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

wtf? the website is telling me it's 136cm2

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

also um how did you get that number? I followed the instructions and it gave 80 + 64 + 40 = 184

OpenStudy (demandandsupply):

I did that in my head, but if you use the formula you do definitely get 184

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

oh wait i did it wrong.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

i mixed up the height with the width lol. but i still understand.

OpenStudy (demandandsupply):

Does that give the right answer?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

oh wait i did do it right. I guess the website is wrong.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

OpenStudy (demandandsupply):

Yeah i cant get anything other than 184
