Question

Figure out if the figure is volume or surface area.​(and the cut out cm is 4cm)

Answer 1

Answer:

Surface area of the box = 168 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of cardboard needed = Surface area of the box

Since the given box is in the shape of a triangular prism,

Surface area of the prism = 2(surface area of the triangular bases) + Area of the three rectangular lateral sides

Surface area of the triangular base = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{height})$

                                                           = $\frac{1}{2}(6)(4)$

                                                           = 12 cm²

Surface area of the rectangular side with the dimensions of (6cm × 9cm),

= Length × width

= 6 × 9

= 54 cm²

Area of the rectangle with the dimensions (9cm × 5cm),

= 9 × 5

= 45 cm²

Area of the rectangle with the dimensions (9cm × 5cm),

= 9 × 5

= 45 cm²

Surface area of the prism = 2(12) + 54 + 45 + 45

                                           = 24 + 54 + 90

                                           = 168 cm²
