What is the surface area of the figure?
8ft.
15ft.
8ft.
8ft.
12ft.
20ft.
The surface area of the figure is 288 square feet.
To calculate the surface area, we need to find the area of each face of the figure and then add them all up. The figure is in the shape of a rectangular prism, so it has 6 faces.
The front and back faces each have an area of 8ft x 15ft = 120 square feet.
The top and bottom faces each have an area of 8ft x 8ft = 64 square feet.
The two side faces each have an area of 15ft x 8ft = 120 square feet.
Adding all the faces together: 120 + 120 + 64 + 64 + 120 + 120 = 288 square feet.
