Answer:
101.9 sq ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is missing: find it in attachment.
Here we want to find the lateral surface area of the figure, which is the sum of the areas of all faces.
We have in total 5 faces:
- 1 of them is rectangle with sizes (8.5 ft x 3.3 ft), so its area is
- 1 of them is a rectangle with sizes (3.3 ft x 5.1 ft), so its area is
- 1 of them is a rectangle with sizes (6.8 ft x 3.3 ft), so its area is
- Finally, we have 2 triangular faces (top and bottom), so their area is
where
b = 5.1 ft is the base
h = 6.8 ft is the height (because the triangle is a right triangle)
So the area of the triangle is
So the total lateral surface area of the figure is:
ANSWER
x=27
EXPLANATION
The two triangles are similar so the corresponding sides are equal.
Cross multiply to get;
Expand:
65x=39x+702
Group similar terms:
65x-39x=702
Simplify
26x=102
Divide both sides by 26,
x=702/26
x=27
