Answer:
800 in²
Explanation:
Applying,
TSA (A) = Area of the base+ Lateral area of the
A = lw+1/2ps................ Equation 1
Where l = lenght of the base, w = width of the base, p = perimeter of the base, s = slight height of the base.
But,
p = 2(l+w)............. Equation 2
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
A = lw+1/2[2(l+w)s)
A = lw+s(l+w)............. Equation 3
From the question,
Given: l = 16 in, w = 16 in, s = 17 in
Substitute these values into equation 3
A = (16×16)+17(16+16)
A = 256+544
A = 800 in²
