Question

Using the net below, find the surface area

Answer 1

Answer:

56 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area is just finding the areas of each face in a figure. As we are given a net of a figure, it is much easier for us to calculate it.

Area of square base (side^2)

4^2 = 16 cm^2

Area of ONE triangular face (1/2 x b x h):

1/2 x 4 x 5 = 10 cm^2

Multiply that by 4 because we have 4 triangular faces: 10 cm^2 x 4 = 40 cm^2

ADD all the areas of triangles and square:

16 cm^2 + 40 cm^2 = 56 cm^2

HOPE THIS HELPS
