Solving for the Surface area .
1 .Find the area and the perimeter of the base 
  •  B = 5(10) = 50 in2
  •  P= 10 + 10 +5 +5=30 in  

2. Plug it in and solve

  •  S= 2B + Ph 
  •  S= 2(50) + 30(6)
  •  S= 100 +  180
  •  S=  280 in 2

                  

Solving for the Surface Area.

1. Find the perimeter and the area of the base .
  • P= 5 +5 + 10 + 10 = 30 in
  • B= 10(5) = 50in.2

2. Plug it in into the formula and solve.

  • S= B + 1/2 x PL  
  • S= 50 + 1/2 x 30 (13)
  • S= 50 +  195
  • S= 245 in 2

Solving for the Surface Area

1. Plug it into the formula and solve .
 
  • S= 2(PI)rh + 2(PI)r2
  • S= 2( PI) (4)(8) + 2(PI) (4)2
  • S= (PI) 64  + (PI) 32
  • S= 96(PI)in square

 

 

 
 
 
 

Solving for the Volume.

1. Find the area of the base .
  •  B= 5(10) = 50 in square
