Question

Use the net to find the surface area of the prism.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 96 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the prism = the sum of the area of each part of the net shown

✔️Area of the 2 equal triangles = 2(½*b*h)

b = 4 in

h = 3 in

Area of the two triangles = 2(½*4*3) = 12 in²

✔️Area of the rectangle 1 with the following dimensions:

L = 7 in

W = 3 in

Area = L*W = 7*3 = 21 in²

✔️Area of the rectangle 2 with the following dimensions:

L = 7 in

W = 4 in

Area = L*W = 7*4 = 28 in²

✔️Area of the rectangle 3 with the following dimensions:

L = 7 in

W = 5 in

Area = L*W = 7*5 = 35 in²

✅Surface area of the prism = 12 + 21 + 28 + 35 = 96 in²
