Answer:
363.22
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Method 1: </u>
You could find the whole figure surface area than divided by 1/2
<u>Method 2:</u> (the one I'm going to personally be doing)
Break the figure into two rectangular figures
Formula for surface area of rectangular prism:
A = 2(width x length + height x length + height x width)
Figure 1:
A = 2(width x length + height x length + height x width)
height = 3.8 yd
length = 10.1 yd
width = 4.3 yd
A = 2((4.3) x (10.1) + (3.8) x (10.1) + (3.8) x (4.3))
A = 2(98.15)
A = 196.3
Figure 2:
A = 2(width x length + height x length + height x width)
height = 8.4 yd
length = 10.1 yd
width = 2 yd
A = 2((2) x (10.1) + (8.4) x (10.1) + (8.4) x (2))
A = 2(121.84)
A = 243.68
There is overlapping surface area that shouldnt be include so we need to subtract it...
<u>For one face of figure 1</u>
3.8 x 10.1 = 38.38
Total:
Figure 1 + Figure 2 - 2(one face)
196.3 - 38.38 = 157.92
243.68 - 38.38 = 205.3
205.3 + 157.92 = 363.22
