A wooden building has the shape of a

Answer 1

Answer:

B: 13000 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much wood is used, we will have to find the surface area of the wooden building.

Formula for surface area of a rectangular pyramid is;

SA = lw + l√(h² + w²/4) + w√(h² + l²/4)

We are given;

l = 100 m

w = 50 m

h = 40 m

Thus;

SA = (100 × 50) + 100√(40² + 50²/4) + 50√(40² + 100²/4)

SA = 5000 + 4717 + 3201.56

SA = 12918.56

Approximating to 2 significant figures gives;

SA = 13000 m²
