I need help with this question

A composite figure is shown.

VikaD [51]

The surface area of the pyramid is 60 square feet

The surface area of the square prism is 480 square feet

The surface area of the cube is 180 square feet

The total surface area is 720 square feet

<h3>Area of Composite figures</h3>

From the question, we are to calculate the surface area of each part of the composite figure

For the cube

Surface area of a cube is given by

$S = 6l^{2}$

Where $l$ is the length of a side

But only have 5 surfaces of the cube are part of the composite figure

∴ Surface area of the cubic part of the figure = $5l^{2}$

From the given information,

$l = 6 \ feet$

∴ Surface area of the cubic part of the figure = 5 × 6²

Surface area of the cubic part of the figure= 180 square feet

For the square prism

The surface area of a square prism is given by the formula,

$S = 2l^{2} + 4lh$

Where $l$ is the length of the sides and

$h$ is the height

But the <u>square surfaces</u> are not part of the surface of the figure

∴ Surface area of the square prism in the figure = $2l^{2} + 4lh - 2l^{2}$

Surface area of the square prism in the figure = $4lh$

From the given information,

$l = 6 \ feet$

$h = 20 \ feet$

Thus,

Surface area of the square prism part of the figure = 4×6×20

Surface area of the square prism part of the figure = 480 square feet

For the pyramid

The pyramid is a square pyramid

The surface area of a square pyramid is given by

$S = l^{2} + 2l\sqrt{\frac{l^{2} }{4}+h ^{2} }$

Where $l$ is the base length

and $h$ is the height of the prism

But the <u>square base</u> is not part of the surface of the figure

∴ Surface area of the pyramid part of the figure = $l^{2} + 2l\sqrt{\frac{l^{2} }{4}+h^{2} }\ - ( l^{2})$

Surface area of the pyramid part of the figure = $2l\sqrt{\frac{l^{2} }{4}+h^{2} }$

From the given information,

$l = 6 \ feet$

$h = 4 \ feet$

∴ Surface area of the pyramid part of the figure = $2(6)\sqrt{\frac{6^{2} }{4}+4^{2} }$

= $12\sqrt{\frac{36 }{4}+16}$

= $12\sqrt{9+16 }$

= $12\sqrt{25}$

= 12 × 5

= 60 square feet

Hence, the surface area of the pyramid is 60 square feet

Thus,

The total surface area = 180 square feet + 480 square feet + 60 square feet

The total surface area = 720 square feet

Hence, the total surface area is 720 square feet

John deposited $2860 in a bank that pays 9% interest, compounded monthly. find the amount he will have at the end of 3 years ?

7nadin3 [17]

To find that you first need to find what 9% is. You can multiply the number, 2,860 by .09 to find out your answer. That should be equal to 257.40. Since you now have that number, you can multiply it by 36. 257.40 is your average per month and you want to know by 3 years. So then your next step is 257.4*36 (there is 36 months in 3 years) which should be equal to 9,266.40.
