I need a formula or something to help me solve this. Or can you help me find the answer? that'd be great. https://postimg.org/image/wqsxtnq5t/

OpenStudy (will.h):

SA means Surface area?

OpenStudy (jeneshisu):

yes it does

OpenStudy (will.h):

Not so sure about this one but the regular trapezoid surface area is 1/2 ( a + b) * h Am sure you can't find this useful here

OpenStudy (will.h):

@Mathmale will help when available He's too professional

OpenStudy (jeneshisu):

@krissavannah Can yah help?

OpenStudy (krissavannah):

i cant my school web wont let me

OpenStudy (jeneshisu):

okay

OpenStudy (krissavannah):

and ill give it to u

OpenStudy (jeneshisu):

alrighty

OpenStudy (krissavannah):

i gave it to

OpenStudy (phi):

You have to find the area of each side. There are 6 sides, so we need 6 numbers They tell us the front side (and so also the back side) is a trapezoid with bases 4 and 6, and height 3 |dw:1475860404712:dw|

OpenStudy (phi):

do you know how to find the area of a trapezoid ?

OpenStudy (jeneshisu):

is the area 15? I know the formula is B1+B2)H/2

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, 15. And the back is also 15 so we have 4 more sides to do.

OpenStudy (jeneshisu):

and the rest are rectangles right? so you use B*H

OpenStudy (phi):

yes

OpenStudy (jeneshisu):

Okay one side is 14.4,one is 21, one is 12, and the back is 25.2

OpenStudy (phi):

ok on the 25.2 and 21 I don't get 14.4 or 12

OpenStudy (jeneshisu):

because it says 3.6 instead of 3

OpenStudy (phi):

I think 3.6*7 is one side. that gives 25.2 (which is what you got) I can see 3*4 =12 but that is a trapezoid figure , not a rectangle, so it's really 15

OpenStudy (phi):

what do you get for the "bottom" and the "top" ?

OpenStudy (jeneshisu):

15?

OpenStudy (phi):

I am calling the "top" the side with the red 7 as one of its sides.

OpenStudy (jeneshisu):

that would be 42

OpenStudy (phi):

yes. and the side "opposite" (the "bottom" ) is ?
