Answer:

240

Explanation:

So to do this problem, you have to find the area of each 2d figure. To start off, you need to find the top sides. (to make this easier I won't show the work)

Green- Top & bottom: 16. Sides (4): 28

Pink- Top & bottom: 8. Sides (4): 20

Now you add it all up.

32+112+16+80=240

Answer:

224 in^2

Explanation:

The pink rectangular prism has the dimensions 2 x 4 x 10 and the green has the dimensions 4 x 4 x 7. The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:

2(lw + wh + lh)

We can substitute to find the surface area of both pink and green:

Pink

2(4 x 4 + 4 x 7 + 7 x 4)

2(16 + 28 + 28)

2(72)

144

Green

2(2 x 4 + 4 x 10 + 2 x 10)

2(8 + 40 + 20)

2(68)

136

The sum is 280. We have over-counted the part where the two prisms are next to each other. The area of the counted rectangle is 4 x 7 or 28. We over-counted twice, so we need to subtract 2 x 28 or 56.

280 - 56 = 224 in^2
