Answer:
174 cm²
Explanation:
The figure given is a prism with isosceles trapezoid as base.
Its surface area can be calculating the area of each face that makes up the prism, and summing all together.
There are 6 faces. Their dimensions and areas can be calculated as follows:
2 isosceles trapezium:
It has 2 parallel bases, (a and b), of 4cm and 6cm,
Height (h) = 2.8cm
Area = ½(a+b)*h
Area = ½(4+6)*2.8
Area = ½(10)*2.8 = 5*2.8 = 14 cm²
4 rectangles of different dimensions:
Rectangle 1 (down face): l = 10cm, b = 4cm
Area = 10*4 = 40 cm²
Rectangle 2 and 3 (side faces): l = 10cm, b = 3cm
Area = 2(l*b) = 2(10*3) = 60cm²
Rectangle 4 (top face) = l = 10cm, b = 6cm
Area = 10*6 = 60cm²
Surface area of the figure = 14 + 40 + 60 + 60 = 174 cm²
