Question

What is the surface area of the prism? A. 164 yd2 B. 204 yd2 C. 240 yd2 D. 300 yd2

Answer 1

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "D. 300 yd2."

We have to get the areas of 5 polygons and add them together to get the surface area.

Area 1 = l * w = 5*8 = 40
Area 2 = l * w = 12 * 8 = 96
Area 3 = l * w = 13 * 8 = 104
Area 4 = bh/2 = 5*12/2 =30
Area 5 = bh/2 = 5*12/2 = 30

Area = Area 1 + Area 2 + Area 3 + Area 4 + Area 5
Area = 40 + 96 + 104 + 30 + 30
Area = 300 yard^2
