I would do this one by adding. How many shapes make up this prism?
OpenStudy (briannabug):
5?
OpenStudy (fortytherapper):
Yep, I see two triangles, two rectangles, and 1 square
So I would find the area of each of those shapes and then add those totals together
OpenStudy (briannabug):
How though?

first step:
we have two triangles, and the area of each triangle is
\((6 \times 8)/2=...?\)
OpenStudy (briannabug):
24
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
ok! so in total \(24+24=48\)
second step:
we have a base rectangle \(6 \times 6.5\), and the area is:
\(6 \times 6.5=...?\)
OpenStudy (briannabug):
37.5
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
I got \(6 \times 6.5=39\)

third step
we have a rectangle \(6.5 \times 10\) and the area is:
\(6.5 \times 10=...?\)
OpenStudy (briannabug):
65
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
correct!
finally, we have a rectangle \(8 \times 6.5\), and the area is:
\(8 \times 6.5=...?\)
OpenStudy (briannabug):
52
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
correct!
so, the requested Surface, is:
\(48+39+65+52=...?\)
