Question below.

OpenStudy (briannabug):

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

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?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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 \(6 \times 6.5=39\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

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: \(48+39+65+52=...?\)

OpenStudy (briannabug):

204

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!!

OpenStudy (briannabug):

Okay thanks!
