Alright i'm here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I got 202cm btw I have to leave my question and come back to type again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get 202ft

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cm is what i meant to say sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did 2 times base of prism plus perimeter of the bas times height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh did you do 21 x 2 + 21 +8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20 for the perimeter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes exept the last part I did 21 x 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay you have to 21 x 21 because it's squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you did it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would the formula be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20 x 8, you don't need the base for surface area, that's what i was taught

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep,do you have answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I wish its a enter in one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was i right ? i apologize if i was'nt
