So whats the real answer to this?
Use the image to answer the question. Solve for the total surface area of the figure. (1 point) Responses 365.8 cm2 365.8 cm squared 53.4 cm2 53.4 cm squared 377.8 cm2 377.8 cm squared 353.8 cm2
To find the total surface area of the figure, we need to calculate the area of each face and then add them together.
The six faces of the figure are:
- 1 front face: 5 cm * 8 cm = 40 cm^2
- 1 back face: 5 cm * 8 cm = 40 cm^2
- 1 top face: 8 cm * 8 cm = 64 cm^2
- 1 bottom face: 8 cm * 8 cm = 64 cm^2
- 2 side faces: 8 cm * 5 cm = 40 cm^2 each, so 2 * 40 cm^2 = 80 cm^2
Adding up all the areas gives us: 40 cm^2 + 40 cm^2 + 64 cm^2 + 64 cm^2 + 80 cm^2 = 288 cm^2
Therefore, the real answer is 288 cm^2.
