Question

The attic floor, ABCD in the model, is a square. The beams that support the roof are the edges of a block (rectangular prism) EFGHKLMN. E is the middle of AT, F is the middle of BT, G is the middle of CT and H is the middle of DT. All the edges of the pyramid in the model have length 12m.
Calculate the area of the attic floor ABCD.

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of ABCD = 12² = 12 * 12 = 144 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ABCD in the model, is a square.

All the edges of the pyramid in the model have length 12m.

So, the length of one side of the square = 12 m

The area of the square = (side length)²

∴ the area of ABCD = 12² = 12 * 12 = 144 m²
