Question

Find the surface area of the prism.

The surface area is_______
square meters.

Answer 1

740 square meters

First you do 16 times 10 for the base(the square on the bottom), this equals 160.
Then you do 17 times 10 for sides. We have two of these so just add 170 plus 170 which equals 340.
Next use the formula A=bh/2 for the triangle. A=16(15)/2 this equals 240 but since we have two triangles then we don’t have to divide it.
Then add all of your numbers which are 240+160+340 and you get 740.

I hope this makes sense

Answer 2

total surface area is: 416 m^2
