Answer 7

that's right!

Answer 8

please wait
that is the total area

Answer 9

surface area

Answer 10

the lateral area is:
\[\large A = 2 \times (6 \times 8 + 3 \times 6) = ...?\]

Answer 11

132

Answer 12

that's right!

Answer 13

so thats my answer?

Answer 14

B.
390 cm2

Answer 20

ok! We have to keep in mind that our area is measured in inches^2, so we have to express our area in cm^2.

Answer 21

so this is how to do suface area

Answer 22

*Surface Area

Answer 23

now, we have 1 inch = 2.54 cm
so the sides of your prism are:
8*2.54= 20.32 cm
6*2.54= 15.24 cm
and
3*2.54 = 7.62 cm

Answer 24

so add the answers together?

Answer 25

so the requested area is:
\[\large A = 2 \times (15.24 \times 20.32 + 7.62 \times 15.24) = ...?\]

Answer 26

851.6112

Answer 27

yes!

Answer 43

thats the correct picture

Answer 44

im so sorry forgive me

Answer 45

Having that accounted the total area in inches would be \[A=(293*6)+2(8*6)=122\], from which multiplying by 2.54 gives 309.9 which is approximately 300cm^2

Answer 46

@Michele_Laino can you help me with the correct picture i will open up a new thread
