@AZ

AZ:

remember lateral surface area is the area of just the sides and not the bases so just the areas of the rectangles because the triangles are part of the bases

KazGotFetee:

Thanks for taking over AZ :D

AZ:

No problem, Kaz :)

AZ:

So do you see that we have three different rectangles? Let's find the area of the red rectangle first The length is 10 and the width is 9 area = length * width what is the area of the red rectangle?

Tonycoolkid21:

10 and 9

AZ:

Multiply them to find the area of that rectangle

Tonycoolkid21:

ok yes sir

Tonycoolkid21:

90

AZ:

yes, now what about the green one? length of 10 and width of 12 area = ?

Tonycoolkid21:

120

AZ:

Good! And the blue rectangle length is 10 and width is 15 area = ?

Tonycoolkid21:

150

AZ:

good so now we just have to add up the areas for all three sides to find the lateral surface area 90 + 120 + 150 =

Tonycoolkid21:

360

AZ:

so that's your lateral surface area make sure to color all those three rectangles as blue or I don't know if you're just supposed to write the number 360 in blue haha

Tonycoolkid21:

?

AZ:

Now to find the complete surface area, we need to find the area of the triangles area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height we have a base of 12 and a height of 9 area = ?

AZ:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Tonycoolkid21 ? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Oh, I have no idea but your worksheet says "color your answer blue" so I'm not sure what that means but I'm just pointing it out so you don't forget :)

Tonycoolkid21:

ok teacher

Tonycoolkid21:

now i need the total surface area

AZ:

no problem, son

AZ:

we need to find the area of the triangle! :D area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height the triangle has a base of 12 and a height of 9 what is the area?

Tonycoolkid21:

108

AZ:

mhmm are you sure? remember, it's 1/2 (or 0.5) times the base times the height so 0.5 * 12 * 9 = ??

Tonycoolkid21:

oh sorry teacher i forgot

Tonycoolkid21:

54

AZ:

Good! Now remember surface area is basically the area of each shape all added together How many triangles did we have?

Tonycoolkid21:

two

AZ:

exactly so we added up the area of the three rectangles and got 360 now we add the two triangles so 360 + 54 + 54 =

Tonycoolkid21:

468 is that my total surface area

AZ:

Well done, Anthony!

Tonycoolkid21:

how you know my name techaer

AZ:

Tony has to be short for Anthony, of course

Tonycoolkid21:

oh k

Tonycoolkid21:

teacher so my lateral surface area is 360 and my total area is 468

AZ:

That is correct!

Tonycoolkid21:

thank you techaer

AZ:

No problem!

Tonycoolkid21:

i have two more to go teacher AZ
