Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a question asking to calculate the surface area of a prism using its net. Let's go step by step:
Surface Area Calculation:
From the net provided, we can break down the prism into its individual rectangular faces. There are 6 rectangles.
-
Front/Back faces: These are the vertical rectangles of dimensions (one for the front and one for the back).
- Area of each =
- Total area for these faces =
-
Top/Bottom faces: These are horizontal rectangles of dimensions .
- Area of each =
- Total area for these faces =
-
Side faces: There are two side faces, each of dimensions (side walls of the prism).
- Area of each =
- Total area for these faces =
Total Surface Area:
Adding the areas of all faces:
However, none of the answer choices directly matches this total, so it seems the net or question might have an error or mismatch in labeling the answer choices.
Would you like a detailed explanation of each part? Let me know if you have questions.
Follow-up Questions:
- How do we calculate the area of a rectangle?
- How does a net help in calculating the surface area of a prism?
- Can you explain the relationship between surface area and volume?
- What is the difference between surface area and lateral surface area?
- How do we calculate the surface area of more complex shapes like pyramids or cylinders?
Tip:
Always break down a net into its simpler shapes (like rectangles or triangles) to make surface area calculations easier.
