How would you calculate the surface area of the given figure?
rectangles 5cm 5 cm 3 cm 4 cm
To calculate the surface area of the figure, we need to find the area of each rectangle and then add them together.
Rectangle 1: 5cm x 5cm = 25cm²
Rectangle 2: 3cm x 5cm = 15cm²
Rectangle 3: 3cm x 4cm = 12cm²
Total surface area = 25cm² + 15cm² + 12cm² = 52cm²
Therefore, the surface area of the given figure is 52cm².
To calculate the surface area of the given figure, you need to find the area of all its individual rectangular faces and then sum them up.
1. Start by determining the areas of each rectangular face:
- Face 1: 5 cm x 5 cm = 25 cm²
- Face 2: 5 cm x 3 cm = 15 cm²
- Face 3: 5 cm x 3 cm = 15 cm²
- Face 4: 4 cm x 3 cm = 12 cm²
2. Add up the areas of all the faces:
25 cm² + 15 cm² + 15 cm² + 12 cm² = 67 cm²
Therefore, the surface area of the given figure is 67 cm².
