FINDING THE SURFACE AREA OF A COMPOSITE SOLID

About "Finding the surface area of a composite solid"

Finding the surface area of a composite solid :

A composite solid is made up of two or more solid figures.

To find the surface area of a composite solid, find the surface area of each figure. Subtract any area not on the surface.

Finding the surface area of a composite solid - Examples

Example 1 :  

Daniel built the birdhouse shown below. What was the surface area of the birdhouse before the hole was drilled ?

Solution :  

Step 1 :

Identify the important information.

• The top is a triangular prism with h = 24 cm. The base is a triangle with height 8 cm and base 30 cm.

• The bottom is a rectangular prism with h = 18 cm. The base is a 30 cm by 24 cm rectangle.

• One face of each prism is not on the surface of the figure.

Step 2 :  

Find the surface area of each prism.

Add the areas. Subtract the areas of the parts not on the surface.

Step 3 :  

Find the area of the triangular prism.

Perimeter  =  17 + 17 + 30  =  64 cm

Base area  =  (1/2)(30)(8)  =  120 sq.cm

Surface area  =  Ph + 2B

Surface area  =  64(24) + 2(120)

Surface area  =  1,776 sq.cm

Step 4 :  

Find the area of the rectangular prism.

Perimeter  =  2(30) + 2(24)  =  108 cm

Base area  =  30(24)  =  720 sq.cm

Surface area  =  Ph + 2B

Surface area  =  108(18) + 2(720)

Surface area  =  3,384 sq.cm

Step 5 :  

Add. Then subtract twice the areas of the parts not on the surface.

Surface area  =  1,776 + 3,384 - 2(720)  =  3,720 sq.cm

The surface area before the hole was drilled was 3,720 sq.cm.

it would more likely be bald eagle because its has more in the box so about 75%.

step-by-step explanation:

c

step-by-step explanation:

it would be see because your formula is f(x)=6x, so 6 times 1 is 6 and you go on and the best answer is c.
