If w = 12 units, x = 7 units, and y = 8 units, what is the surface area of the figure? Figure is composed of a right square pyra

mid on top of a square prism. The sides of the square pyramid are equal to the sides of the square prism, the length and width of the square prism is w, the height of the square prism is x, and the height of the square pyramid, which forms a right angle with the center, is y.

Answer:

720 sq units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length and width of square prism, w = 12 units

Height of square prism, x = 7 units

Height of square pyramid, y = 8 units

Please have a look at the attached image.

Here 2 Surfaces will not be exposed which are base of the square pyramid and the top of the square prism i.e. 2 square surfaces will not be exposed.

Here, surface area of the composite figure will be:

<em>Surface Area of Composite Figure = Lateral surface area of Square Pyramid + Surface Area of 5 surfaces of the square prism</em>

For finding the lateral surface area of pyramid, we need to find the slant height of the pyramid.

Let slant height be l units.

Using pythagoras theorem, we can find out the value of l.

As per theorem:

Hypotenuse^{2} = Base^{2} + Height^{2}\\

\Rightarrow l^{2} = (\dfrac{w}{2})^{2} + y^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = (\dfrac{12}{2})^{2} + 8^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = {6}^{2} + 8^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = 36+64 =  100\\\Rightarrow l = 10\ units

Lateral surface area of square prism = 4 \times Area of triangular surface

\Rightarrow 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2}\times Base \times Slant\ Height\\\Rightarrow 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 12\\\Rightarrow 240\ sq\ units

Surface Area of 5 surfaces of the square prism =

4 \times x \times w + w^2\\\Rightarrow 4 \times 12 \times 7 + 12^2\\\Rightarrow 336 +144\\\Rightarrow 480\ sq\ units

So, total surface area of composite figure:

240 + 480 = 720 sq units.
