Question

PLEASE HELP GUYS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The diagram represents the net of a triangular prism. Chris wants to find the surface area. (You need to include the error and the correct surface area in your explanation.)

Answer 1

Im on the same question so dont copy word for word

Explanation:

The first error he made is that he didn't do the right steps in order to find the area of the two triangles. Instead he should have done 0.5 X 16 X 15 X 2= 240

Then the area for the three rectangles should be 16 X 8 + 17 x 8 + 17 X 8 = 400

If you add it all together, the surface area is actually 640 square meters.
