Question

Can anybody help me solve for surface area? (Formula=add all the areas of the faces)

Answer 1

Answer:

230.3cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area: sum of all faces

base: 12 x 2.5 = 30cm^2

back: 84 cm ^2

cross section x 2 = 7 x 2.5 = 17.5

use Pythagoras theorem to find the width of slope: 7^2 + 2.5^2 = 49 + 6.25 = 55.25. square root of 55.25 = 7.4

so, area of slope : 7.4 x 12 = 88.8cm^2

sum of all areas: 114 + 106.3  = 230.3
