Step-by-step explanation:
1. Area of base
The radius given is that of the circumcircle.
The general formula for the edge length a of a regular polygon is
a = 2Rsin(π/n)
So,
a = 2 × 5 × sin(π/5) = 10sin0.6283 = 10 × 0.5878 = 5.878 in
The general formula for the area of a regular polygon is
A = ¼na²cot(π/n)
So,
A = ¼ × 5 × 5.878²cot(π/5) = ¼ × 5 × 5.878² × 1.376 = 59.44 in²
2. Lateral area
The general formula for the lateral area L of regular prism is
L = nah
So,
L = 5 × 5.878 × 12 = 352.7 in²
3. Total area
Total surface area = lateral area + 2×base area
S = L + 2B = 352.7 + 2 × 59.44 = 471.6 in²

Step-by-step explanation:
Basically, when you have a product to two factors set equal to 0, you can use the Zero Product Property and make two separate equations, both set equal to 0, to find the roots for each factor:
Notice that by plugging these roots back into the equation, either factor will be 0, making the whole expression 0:
