Find the surface area. Round your answers to the nearest hundredths if necessary.

cupoosta [38]

Area of triangle = (base x height)/2
There are all together 4 triangles and 1 square.
Therefore, surface area = area of square + 4 x area of triangle

height = 5.8 in, base = 6 in. area of square = 6x6 = 36 in^2.

area of 1 triangle = (5.8x6)/2
area of 4 triangles = 2x5.8x6 = 69.6 in^2

surface area = 69.6 + 36 = 105.6 in^2

You weigh a gallon of 2% milk in science class and learn that is approximately 8.4 pounds. You pass the milk to the next group,

iris [78.8K]

1 pound is 0.453592 kilograms
so 8.4 pounds is 3.81018 kilograms
You would cross multiply and make sure the units are lined up with each other

1 $\frac{1 lb}{0.453592 kg} = \frac{8.4 lb}{x}$
then you would cross multiply and get 3.81018
