What is the surface area of this figure? B = 21 P= 21 147 i n to the power of 2 357 i n to the power of 2 1459.5 i n to the power of 2 24.95 i n to the power of 2

Going to share an image of this figure?

Assume that you need to find the TOTAL surface area. You have two triangular ends, each of base 7 and height 6; find the area of one such triangle and multiply that by 2. You have two sides, each of width 5 and length 6.95; find the area of one and multiply that by 2. You have one base whose measurements are 5 by 7; calculate that area. Then add all 3 results together.

We don't give answers here. we help. This problem can be broken down into several simple steps. Do you know how to find the area of a rectangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but ive been waiting too long and now I have like 3 minutes left

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

We'll go quickly. The bottom rectangle is 7 in. by 5 in.: 7 x 5 = The right rectangle is 5 in. by 6.95 in.: 5 x 6.95 = The left rectangle is 5 in. by 6.95 in. 5 X 6.95 = Do that first, then we'll do the two triangles.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For the two triangles, they are of equal; dimensions, so we calculate the area of one and multiply by 2. A = base * height /2 A = 7 in. * 6 in. /2 = Calculate the area of the triangle above and multiply by 2.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Then add all areas together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the second choice am i right

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I don't get any of the choices. I get 146.5 in^2

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

It's closest to the first one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the closest one would be 140

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Where do you see 140? I see 147 as the first choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right sorry
