Question

Frank designed a net for a storage shed that he is going to construct out of metal. The design consists of a square base and four square sides, plus four triangular parts that make up the roof.

He had 250 square feet of metal to use to build the shed. (What is the surface area of the storage Shed that Frank Designed?) (Does Frank have enough metal to construct his design yes or no?)

Answer 1

Yes, Frank does have enough, he has 250 metal and only has 228 surface area.

Explanation:

You take all the triangles (4) and multipy 4 x 6 (24) then divide that by 2 (12) so now you know all the triangles are equal to 12. Then the squares, you multiply 6 x 6 (36) now you know all the squres are equal to 36 and then you add 12 + 12+12+12+36+36+36+36+36 and then you get 228.
