Opinions because they are never wrong its just what you think not anyone else
<span>Jerry is 8 years younger than Patricia, so:
(1): Jerry = Patricia - 8
Six years ago, Patricia was 3 times as old as Jerry was then, so:
(2): (Patricia - 6) = (Jerry - 6)*3
Putting equation 1 in to equation 2
(Patricia - 6) = (Patricia - 8 - 6)*3
Patricia - 6 = 3Patricia - 42
36 = 2Patricia
Patricia = 18
And so Jerry = 10</span>
Using the surface area formula for rectangular and triangular prism, the surface area of the composite figure is: 444 m².
<h3>What is the Surface Area of the Composite Figure?</h3>
Total surface area = surface area of the top triangular prism + surface area of the bottom rectangular prism - area of the surface both share together.
Surface area of the top triangular prism = (S1 + S2+ S3)L + bh = (10 + 10 + 16)5 + (16)(6) = 276 m².
Surface area of the bottom rectangular prism = 2(wl + hl + hw) = 2·(5·16+4·16+4·5) = 328 m²
Area of the surface both share together = 2(16)(5) = 160 m²
Total surface area = 276 + 328 - 160 = 444 m².
