Question

Can someone help with an explanation? This is finding Surface Area.​

Answer 1

The answer should be 95in^2

Explanation:

You’re essentially just finding the area of all the shapes on the triangle and adding them together.

Area of a triangle = 1/2•b•h
Area of a square = l•w or just s2

The area of the triangles given what we have in the diagram can be found with
1/2•5•7 = 17.5

There are 4 triangles so you multiply 17.5 by 4 which gives 70

The base of the triangle (the square) = 25

70+25=95
