Solution:
Note that:
- Surface area = 2(Area of triangle) + 3(Area of rectangle)
Finding the area of triangle:
- Area of triangle = 1/2 x 4 x 5
- => Area of triangle = 1/2 x 20
- Area of triangle = 10 cm²
Finding the area of rectangle:
- Area of rectangle = 5 x 10
- => Area of rectangle = 50 cm²
Using the formula of surface area:
- Surface area = 2(Area of triangle) + 3(Area of rectangle)
- => Surface area = 2(10) + 3(50)
- => Surface area = 20 + 150
- => Surface area = 170 cm²
