Answer:
A. 16.12 ft B. 9.64 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
For both of these, you need Pythagorean's Theorem because we have right triangles. In part A, we are given 2 legs and are asked to find the length of the hypotenuse:
and
and PR = 16.12 ft
In part B, we are given the length of the hypotenuse and side PQ remains the same:
and
so
QR = 9.64 ft
Explanation
The question requires that we figure out the sides that represent the top/bottom faces and the left/right faces.
We are given the plan of the aluminum sheet
The top, bottom, left and right faces are shown below
The dimension for the top and bottom is
Since they are two
Therefore the total area for the top and bottom will be
For the left and right faces, the dimensions are
The dimensions of the left and right faces will be
Since they are two, then
The area will be
