Answer:To find a scale factor between two similar figures, find two corresponding sides and write the ratio of the two sides. If you begin with the smaller figure, your scale factor will be less than one. If you begin with the larger figure, your scale factor will be greater than one.

Answer:
304m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the surface area of the base by multiplying the length by the width.
(12m) (8m)= 96m^2
Second, find the surface area of the front and back triangles using the formula <em>1/2 (base) (height)</em>. Use the length for the base.
1/2 (12m) (10m)= 60m^2
Next, find the surface area of the side triangles using the formula <em>1/2 (base) (height). </em>Use the width as the base.
1/2 (8m) (11m)= 44m^2
Last, add the surface area of each section. Make sure you add the area of each face.(we only solved for 1 of the front/ back triangles and 1 of the side triangles) To make it easier to understand I wrote out an equation to show how I added the surface areas.
base=a, front/ back triangles= b, side triangles=c
SA= a + 2b +2c or SA= a +b +b +c +c
Using one of the equations above solve for the total surface area.
SA= (96m^2) + (60m^2) +(60m^2) +(44m^2) +(44m^2)
or
SA= (96m^2) + 2(60m^2) +2(44m^2)
SA= (96m^2) +(120m^2) +(88m^2)
SA= 304m^2
