Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area is the sum of the areas of the faces.

There are 4 faces that are 5 cm wide. Their respective heights (from front, over the top) are ...

  1 cm, 2.5 cm, 2 cm, 2.3 cm

for a total height of 7.8 cm. Thus, those 4 faces have a total area of ...

  (5 cm)(7.8 cm) = 39.0 cm^2

__

The two trapezoidal faces each have bases of length 1 and 2 cm, and a "height" of 2.3 cm. Together, their areas are ...

  A = 2×(1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (b1 +b2)h

  A = (1 cm +2 cm)(2.3 cm) = 6.9 cm^2

__

The surface area of the entire trapezoidal prism is then ...

  total area = base area + lateral area = 6.9 cm^2 +39 cm^2

  total area = 45.9 cm^2

The student's answer of 57.4 cm^2 is not correct. (We don't know where that calculation came from.)

Answer:

Portion of walking in degrees = 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the diagram is not shown in the question. I have attached the full question below. Consult it to understand the solution better

First calculate the percentage of walking from a total of all activities.

Percentage of walking = 10/50 · 100%

Percentage of walking = 20%

It means the portion of the circle(pie chart) for walking should be equal to 20% of the whole circle.

We know that the whole circle is equals to 360°

Circle = 360°

We need to calculate 20% of 360°, which will represent the portion of walking in degrees.

Portion of walking in degrees = 20/100 · 360°

Portion of walking in degrees = 72°
