Frank designed a net for a storage shed that he is going to construct out of metal. The design consists of a square base and four square sides, plus four triangular parts that make up the roof.

TigerHorse:

Yes, Frank does have enough, he has 250 metal and only has 228 surface area.

TigerHorse:

You take all four triangles and multiply them by four times six, which gives you twenty-four. Then you divide twenty-four by two, which gives you twelve. Then, for the squares, you multiply 6 by 6 to get 36. Since all the squares add up to 36, you add 12 plus 12 plus 12 plus 12 plus 36 plus 36 plus 36 plus 36 plus 36 plus 36 and you get 228.

TigerHorse:

Hope that this answer and explanation help
