With the help of the <em>area</em> formulae of rectangles and triangles and the concept of <em>surface</em> area, the <em>surface</em> area of the composite figure is equal to 276 square centimeters.
<h3>What is the surface area of a truncated prism?</h3>
The <em>surface</em> area of the <em>truncated</em> prism is the sum of the areas of its six faces, which are combinations of the areas of rectangles and <em>right</em> triangles. Then, we proceed to determine the <em>surface</em> area:
A = (12 cm) · (4 cm) + 2 · (3 cm) · (4 cm) + 2 · (12 cm) · (3 cm) + 2 · 0.5 · (12 cm) · (5 cm) + (5 cm) · (4 cm) + (13 cm) · (4 cm)
A = 48 cm² + 24 cm² + 72 cm² + 60 cm² + 20 cm² + 52 cm²
A = 276 cm²
With the help of the <em>area</em> formulae of rectangles and triangles and the concept of <em>surface</em> area, the <em>surface</em> area of the composite figure is equal to 276 square centimeters.

#SPJ1
Yes it can be a direct variation. it follows the form y = kx
The only variable that cannot be held constant is F, but we can hold the mass constant and vary the acceleration OR we can hold the acceleration constant and vary the mass. Either one would work, but the easiest would be to vary the mass and hold the acceleration constant since we are all pulled by the same action gravity
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer.
