Question

Calculate the surface area of the prism. Measurements are in centimetres

Please help me asap!!!! The correct answer is 2804

Answer 1

2804 cm²

Explanation:

Total area comprises of 6 faces: 2 trapezoids and 4 rectangles

• Trapezoid = 1/2*(14+32)*24 = 552 cm² each
• Bottom = 17*32 = 544 cm²
• Top = 14*17 = 238 cm²
• Right side = 17*24 = 408 cm²
• Left side = 17*√((24² + (32-14)²) = 17* √900 = 17*30 = 510 cm²

Total area:

552*2 + 544 + 238 + 408 + 510 = 2804 cm²
