Given:
Composite figure.
The figure splitted into two shapes.
One is vertical cuboid and other is horizontal cuboid
To find:
Total surface area of the figure
Solution:
<u>Vertical cuboid:</u>
Length = 14 inches
Width = 12 inches
Height = 24 inches
Surface area = 2(lw + wh + lh)
= 2(14 × 12 + 12 × 24 + 14 × 24)
= 2(168 + 288 + 336)
Surface area = 1584 square inches
<u>Horizontal cuboid:</u>
Length = 14 inches
Width = 10 inches
Height = 30 - 12 = 18 inches
Surface area = 2(lw + wh + lh)
= 2(14 × 10 + 10 × 18 + 14 × 18)
= 2(140 + 180 + 252)
Surface area = 1144 square inches
Total surface area = 1584 + 1144
= 2728 square inches
The total surface area of the figure is 2728 square inches.
