Answer:
1629.24m
Explanation:
starting with the easy ones
1) Rectangle 1:
Surface area of rectangle=Length x width
SAR= 24x21
= 504m
2) Rectangle 2:
SAR= 19x21
=399
3) Rectangle 3
SAR= 21x8
=168
4) Rectangle 4:
SAR= 21x11
=231
*because the top and bottom are trapeziums the formular for it is
A=1/2(a+b)h
although those trapeziums don't have h(Height)
it needs to be broken down into two triangles and a rectangle. to find the height*
5) side/height of triangle A:
formula: C squared= a squared + b squared
in this case we already have C and A. meaning we have to rearrange the formula to:
x = c^2 - a^2
x = 8^2 - 2.5^2
x = sqrt 57.75
x = 7.61
6) Trapezium
SA= 1/2(a+b)h
SA= 1/2(19+24)7.61
=163.62
7) add all surface area together
which should equal 1629.24m
