Question

Find the surface area of the prism formed by the net

Answer 1

ANSWER

$T.S.A=1960m^2$

EXPLANATION

The diagram represents the net of a rectangular prism.

The dimensions are,

$l=42m$

$w = 14m$

and

$h = 7m$

The total surface area of a rectangular prism is given by:

$T.S.A=2(lw + lh + wh)$

We substitute the values to obtain,

$T.S.A=2(42 \times 14 + 42 \times 7 + 14 \times 7)$

$T.S.A=2(980)m^2$


$T.S.A=1960m^2$
