To find the surface area, Brad splits the figure into two pieces, the rectangular prism and
the triangular prism.
He finds the total surface area of the rectangular prism by finding the area of each face
to get 1,104 cm
He then finds the total surface area of the triangular prism by finding the area of each
face to get 1,008 cm
Finally, he adds the surface areas together to get 2,112 cm.
Is Brad's solution correct? Why or why not?
Select the option that correctly answers both questions.
No, he did not find the correct total surface area for the triangular prism.
O No, he did not find the correct total surface area for the rectangular prism.
No, he needs to subtract the areas of the faces where the two prisms are
attached
Yes, he correctly found the sum of the surface areas for each prism.

The surface area of the figure is the amount of area covered by the figure.

The figure is not given, so I will give a general solution.

The method followed by Brad to calculate the surface area of the prism is correct.

However, whether Brad correctly calculates the areas of the rectangular prism and the triangular prism cannot be determined.

So, the conclusion is that:

  • If Brad's calculation of the surface areas of the prisms is correct, then the surface area of the figure is correct because 1104 + 1008 = 2112.
  • If otherwise, then the solution is incorrect
