Question

A) 350cm2
B) 1000cm2
C) 170cm2
D) 1200cm2

Answer 1

1200 cm^2

Explanation:

There are four 10 cm by 25 cm sides; the total area of these sides is

4 (10 cm) (25 cm) = 1000 cm^2.

There are two ends; the total area of these is 2 (10 cm) (10 cm) = 200 cm^2.

Thus, the total surface area is 1000 cm^2 + 200 cm^2, or 1200 cm^2 (Answer A).
