Question

Can someone help me calculate the ✨surface area✨ for this prism ?

I'm not even sure if I understand the formula "( ​

Answer 1

216cm^2

Explanation:

The surface area is equal to the sum of areas of the walls.

We've got 2 triangular walls with area 6*8/2, for 6*8 = 48cm^2 total

We've got a wall with 7x10 = 70cm^2

We've got a wall with 6x7 = 42cm^2

And the last wall is 8x7 = 56cm^2

So total surface area is: 48 + 70 + 42 + 56 = 216

Answer 2

216 cm^2.

Explanation:

Surface area = 2 * area of triangular sides + area of 3 rectangles

= 2 * 1/2 * 6 * 8 + 8*7 + 6 * 7 + 10*7

= 48 + 56 + 42 + 70

= 216.
