Question

Find the total surface area of the solid below. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

x= 11.6, y = 6.3, and z = 15.5

Answer 1

494.16 units²

Explanation:

Total surface area of the solid = 4(area of a triangular face) + area of the square base

Area of a triangular face = ½*b*h

b = x = 11.6

h = z = 15.5

Area = ½*11.6*15.5 = 89.9 units²

Area of the four triangular faces = 4(89.9) = 359.6 units²

Area of the square base = s²

s = x = 11.6

Area = 11.6²

Area = 134.56 units²

✔️Total surface area of the solid = 359.6 + 134.56 = 494.16 units²
