Answer:
G. 7600
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Deconstruct the shape
2 rectangles with dimension of 50 cm x 20 cm
2 rectangles with dimension of 40 cm x 20 cm
2 rectangles with dimension of 40 cm x 50 cm
Step 2: Find surface area of the shapes
2(50 x 20) = 2000
2(40 x 20) = 1600
2(40 x 50) = 4000
Step 3: Add the surface areas together
2000 + 1600 + 4000 = 7600
Therefore the surface area is 7600 and the answer is G.
I'm not sure if this is the easiest way of doing this, but it surely work.
Let the base of the triangle be AB, and let CH be the height. Just for reference, we have
Moreover, let CH=y and BC=z
Now, AHC, CHB and ABC are all right triangles. If we write the pythagorean theorem for each of them, we have the following system
If we solve the first two equations for y squared, we have
And we can deduce
So that the third equation becomes
(we can't accept the negative root because negative lengths make no sense)
