Question

Jimmy wants to make a pentagonal push pop that is 3.25 inches long with a side length of 0.75 inches. Find the surface area of the push pop.

Answer 1

We are asked to determine the surface area of the figure. To do taht we will add the areas of each of the surfaces of the figure. Since it is a pentagon, we will determine the lateral area of one of the surfaces and multiply the result by 5:

`A_l=5sl`

Where "s" is the side length and "l" is the longitude. Replacing the values:

`A_l=5(0.75in)(3.25in)`

Solving the operations:

`A_l=12.19in^2`
