Question

Find the surface area of the composite figure

Answer 1

Answer:

268

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2×6+2×2+2×6) + 2(4×5+4×10+10×5) - 2(2×2)

= 56+220-8

= 268 cm²

Answer 2

Answer:

272cm

Step-by-step explanation:

So the green block has 6 sides

the height of the prism is 4cm

the length is 10cm

and the width is 5cm

to find the top and bottom sides we must find the width and length

5x10=50cm so The bottom and top are double that so 100cm is covered so far

to find the longer sides, we times 4 by 10 = 40x2 = 80cm which covers 2 sides

and the last 2 sides of the green block are the smaller ones so 4x5 = 20 but that covers one side so we times by 2 andd that gives us both sides so 40cm

all 6 sides are covered so we can add up the numbers

top and bottom = 100cm

front back = 80cm

left and right = 40

add them all up and we get 220

now we see the purple block, this is the Same process as before

top = 2x2 = 4

bottom = 2x2 = 4

front = 6x2 = 12

back = 6x2 = 12

left = 6x2 = 12

right = 6x2 = 12

add them together and we get 56cm

the surface area of both of them Is 220+56 = 276cm

however the bottom of the purple prism is on top of the top of the green prism. Because we know the surface area of the bottom of the purple  (4) and the top Surface of the green (50).

this allows us to subtract the prism above because of the bottom shapes surface so the actual answer is  272cm hope this helped
