@mathmale or someone..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

How so..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you multyply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2*3*4

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Its SA.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Surface Area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is d

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

In order to find the surface area, you need to find the area of each of the rectangles and then add them together to get your answer

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Still, a bit unclear.

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

Ignore the question, just look at the labels in the picture. You see how the dotted lines make rectangles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no you will * 2*3*4 and that give you 24

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

so can you find the area of each rectangle in the picture?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

@Asmaa_1 that is not how you find surface area

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

^ I may still need help, but I know that isn't how you calculate the SA. 2 x 3 x 4.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Can you guide me through it?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

yea, so, find the area of the bog rectangle pat to start

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

You question labels all of the parts for you. So you should be able to find those areas pretty easily

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

once you have done that, all you have to do is add them up.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Um... I have gotten 24 - . -

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

wait,

OpenStudy (mathmale):

This figure is subdivided into several rectangles. There is enough info in the figure so that you can know the length of every rectangle side and end. Find the individual areas, and then sum up these areas to obtain the total area. As F. Chicken says, "once you have done that, all you have to do is add them up."

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

let's see can you label my picture here then

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Kindly show all of y our work, so that others may give you specific feedback on any mistakes or omissions.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Note that volume is not requested here; just surface area.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Ok. I still don't get it. Can someone just tell me what SIDE IS WHICH, and how do I do the multiplication process.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Stressin' out over here.

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

it's not a multiplication process it's adding all the areas contained within process

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

I know the shape is a rectangular prism, I just don't know really well how to do it in net form.
