There is only one way to calculate the surface area of a composite figure.

There is only one correct answer for the surface area of a composite figure.

Answer 1

@Directrix

Answer 2

I'm wondering what is mean by a composite figure. @_lilb_to_smooth_4_U_

Answer 3

i have no idea really

Answer 4

Composite figures are just a combination of simpler figures in disguise! In this tutorial, you'll see how to break down a composite figure into simpler figures. Then, see how to find the area of each of those individual figures to find the area of the entire composite figure.

I think this is for a 2-D composite figure.

Answer 5

I'm thinking that the question applies to any kind of solid - getting the surface area of it.

Answer 6

yeah maybe

Answer 7

Hint: There is only one correct answer for the surface area of the composite solid but there are many ways to get it. That is because you divided the composite solid into pieces you know how to find the area of.

So, based on that, what do you think the answer to the question could be?

Answer 8

i think C because there has to be more then one way to solve it @Directrix

Answer 9

That is true but the question is asking for the option that is false. So, select an option that is false.

We are down to choosing between A and D for the false option. @_lilb_to_smooth_4_U_

Answer 10

so A because there is more then one way @Directrix

Answer 11

That is correct.

Answer 12

thanks very much i was nice working with you

Answer 13

Same here. You are welcome.
