Answer:

1. 144.4 m²

2. 120 m³

Explanation:

The figure is composed of a triangular prism and a rectangular prism

1. Surface area of the composite figure = (surface area of the triangular prism - area of the face joining the rectangular prism) + (surface area of the rectangular prism - the face joining the triangular prism)

✔️Surface area of the triangular prism = bh + (s1 + s2 + s3)*L

b = 5 m

h = 2 m

s1 = 3.2 m

s2 = 3.2 m

s3 = 5 m

L = 6 m

Plug in the values

Surface area of triangular prism = 5*2 + (3.2 + 3.2 + 5)*6

= 10 + (11.4)*6

= 78.4 m²

✔️Area of rectangular prism = 2(LW + LH + WH)

L = 6 m

W = 5 m

H = 3 m

Plug in the values

Area of rectangular prism = 2(6*5 + 6*3 + 5*3)

= 126 m²

✔️Area of the face joining both figures = L*W

L = 6 m

W = 5 m

Area = 6*5 = 30 m²

✅Surface area of the composite figure = (78.4 - 30) + (126 - 30)

= 48.4 + 96

= 144.4 m²

2. Volume of composite figure = volume of triangular prism + volume of rectangular prism

= ½*a*c*h + L*W*H

a = 2 m

c = 5 m

h = 6 m

L = 6 m

W = 5 m

H = 3 m

Plug in the values

Volume = ½*2*5*6 + 6*5*3

Volume = 30 + 90 = 120 m³
