Question

A rectangular fish tank is 22 inches tall. The base edge lengths are 20 inches and 18 inches. What is the total surface area of the fish tank?

(I tried this and got 2392? is that correct)

Answer 1

Almost correct

Explanation:

The correct answer is 2032

You have forgotten to remove the top of the fish tank! There was an unnecessary 360inches² in your answer

Don't worry, it is an odd question and we all make mistakes

Note: if I'm not correct, and the fish tank does have a roof, then you are correct.

Answer 2

You are correct. It's 2392 inches

Explanation:

Formular

Surface Area = 2×(22×20 + 22×18 + 20×18)

2(440 + 396 + 360)

2(1196) =

2392
