In los Cabo Mexico, there is a big sculpture of black letters that welcomes you. The image shows the letter C what is the surface area?
1ft 4ft 15ft 7ft 4ft 10ft
To calculate the surface area of the letter C sculpture, we need to break it down into simpler shapes and then add their individual surface areas.
Let's break down the letter C into rectangles:
- The top rectangle is 4ft wide and 1ft high: Surface area = 4 ft * 1 ft = 4 ft²
- The vertical part of the C is 7ft high and 4ft wide: Surface area = 7 ft * 4 ft = 28 ft²
- The bottom rectangle is 10ft wide and 1ft high: Surface area = 10 ft * 1 ft = 10 ft²
Now we add the surface areas of the three rectangles together:
4 ft² + 28 ft² + 10 ft² = 42 ft²
Therefore, the surface area of the letter C sculpture is 42 square feet.
