Question

1. ¿Qué expresiones a continuación se pueden usar para encontrar el área del prisma rectangular de abajo? ¡ELIJA TODOS LOS QUE SE APLIQUEN! Nota: Puede probarlos todos para asegurarse de que sean iguales. * 15 (5x2x3) + (2x3x3) (5x2) + (5x2) + (5x2) + (5x2) 5x2x2 2 (5x2) + 2 (5x2) + 2 (2x2)

Answer 1

We need to find the area of the prism given in the following image:

You need to add the surfaces of ALL rectangles in the image (recall that the area of a rectangle is : Base x Height)

So for this prism we have:

FOUR rectangles that measure 5 x 2

and also TWO small squares of area 2 x 2

So we need to select all the formulas they give you that read like the addition of the two above:

(5x2) + (5x2) + (5x2) + (5x2) + (2x2) + (2x2)

It can also be written as:

2 (5x2) + 2 (5x2) + 2 (2x2)
