Step-by-step solution for: Volume and Surface Area of Rectangular Prisms and Cylinders
To solve the problem of finding the surface area of the given solid shapes, we will calculate the surface area for each shape step by step. Let's go through each one:
---
- Dimensions: Base side = 9 cm, Height = 14 cm
- Surface Area Formula:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2 \times (\text{Base Area}) + \text{Perimeter of Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
- Base Area = \(9 \times 9 = 81 \, \text{cm}^2\)
- Perimeter of Base = \(4 \times 9 = 36 \, \text{cm}\)
- Surface Area = \(2 \times 81 + 36 \times 14 = 162 + 504 = 666 \, \text{cm}^2\)
Answer: \(666 \, \text{cm}^2\)
---
- Dimensions: Length = 12 cm, Width = 2 cm, Height = 8 cm
- Surface Area Formula:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2 \times (lw + lh + wh)
\]
- \(lw = 12 \times 2 = 24\)
- \(lh = 12 \times 8 = 96\)
- \(wh = 2 \times 8 = 16\)
- Surface Area = \(2 \times (24 + 96 + 16) = 2 \times 136 = 272 \, \text{cm}^2\)
Answer: \(272 \, \text{cm}^2\)
---
- Base: Right triangle with legs 5 cm and 4 cm, hypotenuse 11 cm
- Height of Prism: 11 cm
- Surface Area Formula:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2 \times (\text{Base Area}) + \text{Perimeter of Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
- Base Area = \(\frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 4 = 10 \, \text{cm}^2\)
- Perimeter of Base = \(5 + 4 + 11 = 20 \, \text{cm}\)
- Surface Area = \(2 \times 10 + 20 \times 11 = 20 + 220 = 240 \, \text{cm}^2\)
Answer: \(240 \, \text{cm}^2\)
---
- Base: Triangle with sides 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm (right triangle)
