Question

Find the surface area of the composite figure. 6cm 5 cm 20cm 4cm 12cm 6cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

644 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the composite figure = surface area of the large rectangular prism + surface area of the small rectangular prism - 2(area of the surface of the small rectangular prism that joins the larger prism)

✔️Surface area of the large rectangular prism = 2(LW + LH + WH)

L = 6 cm

W = 5 cm

H = 20 cm

Surface area = 2(6*5 + 6*20 + 5*20)

= 500 cm²

✔️Surface area of the small rectangular prism = 2(LW + LH + WH)

L = 6 cm

W = 4 cm

H = 12 cm

Surface area = 2(6*4 + 6*12 + 4*12)

= 288 cm²

✔️area of the surface of the small rectangular prism that joins the larger prism = L*W

L = 12 cm

W = 6 cm

Area = 12*6

= 72 cm²

✅Surface area of the composite figure = 500 + 288 - 2(72)

= 644 cm²
