To find the surface area of the two-tiered steps, we need to first calculate the surface area of each tier separately and then sum them.
For the larger tier:
- Front surface area = 17in * 14in = 238in^2
- Top surface area = 17in * 8.5in = 144.5in^2
- Side surface area = (17in * 6.5in) * 2 = 221in^2
- Total surface area for the larger tier = 238in^2 + 144.5in^2 + 221in^2 = 603.5in^2
For the smaller tier:
- Front surface area = 13in * 14in = 182in^2
- Top surface area = 13in * 8.5in = 110.5in^2
- Side surface area = (13in * 6.5in) * 2 = 169in^2
- Total surface area for the smaller tier = 182in^2 + 110.in^2 + 169in^2 = 461.5in^2
Summing the surface areas of both tiers:
603.5in^2 + 461.5in^2 = 1065in^2
Therefore, the total surface area of the two-tiered steps is 1065in^2.
