Answer 1

Answer:

3300cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

30cm+30cm=60cm 60cm is the lengh of the whole joint structure.We will put it in the equation as "a".

heigh stays the same(10cm) because the pieces are not stacked one on top of the other.They are joined on their sides.We will put it as "c".

Widht also stays the same.its 15 cm and we will put it as letter "b".

So

a=60cm

b=15cm

c=10cm

We need to calculate the surface area of the entire joint structure.

1.First thing to do is to calculate the top part which is:

a*b=15*60=900cm²

2.The bootom side is the same 900cm².

3.The front side is:

a*c=60*10=600cm²

4.The back side is the same as front so it is 600cm².

5.The left side is:

c*b=10*15=150cm²

6.The right side is the same as the left and it is 150cm²

Now we just add it up.

S(surface)=900*2+600*2+150*2=3300cm²

If you want the whole exercise in one equation:

S=2*(a*b)+2*(a*c)+2*(b*c)
