I need help. Will fan and metal for the first one to give me the CORRECT answer.
What is the surface area for the given figure? A. 2520 cm^2 B. 2792 cm^2 C. 4080 cm^2 D. 2280 cm^2
@leahhhmorgannn
Anyone?
You have to calculate the surface area of 5 planes.
what?
I never learned that!
The 2 triangles on the end. They are each 24 by 10 so together their surface area is 240.
And that is just for the two triangles, right?
wouldnt I have to do something with the rectangles?
The rectangle at the back is 34 by 10 so its suraface area is ?
340 but there is two of them. So would I have to add 340 + 340 to get the surface area of those?
the rectangles?
No. The only planes that are equal are the 2 triangles which we already calculated. The bottom rectangle is 24 by 34 with an area of 816
so now we have to do something with the calculations with the triangles and with the calculations of the rectangle.
The top rectangle (the slanted rectangle) is 34 by 26 = 884 NOW we have all the areas calculated.
so now do we add them all together?
to get the surface area?
Yes, add the triangle area to the 3 rectangle area
and then thats the answer?
Yes, it should be. So add 240 + 340 + 816 + 884
You do have the answer don't you?
2280 is the answer?
Sorry, I was trying to make my lunch.
That is the answer - and that's 'd' right?
I thin so. Thanks so much for your help.
u r welcome :-)
