Answer:
56 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area is just finding the areas of each face in a figure. As we are given a net of a figure, it is much easier for us to calculate it.
Area of square base (side^2)
4^2 = 16 cm^2
Area of ONE triangular face (1/2 x b x h):
1/2 x 4 x 5 = 10 cm^2
Multiply that by 4 because we have 4 triangular faces: 10 cm^2 x 4 = 40 cm^2
ADD all the areas of triangles and square:
16 cm^2 + 40 cm^2 = 56 cm^2
HOPE THIS HELPS
Have a nice day!
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:

I believe you combine the first and last terms first because they have the same denominator
The answer is b
Explanation:
The 9-sided polygon will have a central angle between the vertex and the center of one side of 360°/(2*9) = 20°. Then the apothem is
a = (6 in/2)*cot(20°) ≈ 8.242432 in
The perimeter is 9*6 in = 54 in, so the area is
A = (1/2)Pa = (1/2)*(54 in)*(8.242432 in) ≈ 222.5 in²
