Question

Work out the surface area of this solid prism.

Answer 1

Answer:

2520cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area = sum of the area of all the bases.

Area of bottom base = 28 * 30 = 840

Area of right base = 25 * 30 = 750

Area of left base = 17 * 30 = 510

Area of two triangles = ( 15 * 28 ) / 2 = 210 * 2 = 420

Then add all the areas together to find surface area

Surface area = 840 + 750 + 510 + 420 = 2520cm²

Relevant Formulas:

Area of a rectangle = length * width. This formula was used to find the area of the bottom base, the right base and the left base

Area of a triangle = ( height * base length ) / 2 . This formula was used to find the area of the sides which are triangles.
