Use the figure to answer questions 1-2. Assume that the 3 x 5.5 m rectangles on the right and left are the bases. Question Multiple Choice What is the surface area of the prism? (1 point) Responses 283.8 m² 283.8 m² 292.4 m² 292.4 m² 325.4 m² 325.4 m² 407 m²
To find the surface area of the prism, we need to calculate the area of each of the three rectangles (two on the sides and one on the top) and add them up.
Area of rectangle on the top = length x width = 3 m x 5.5 m = 16.5 m²
Area of two rectangles on the sides = 2 x (length x height) = 2 x (3 m x 5.5 m) = 2 x 16.5 m² = 33 m²
Total surface area = area of top rectangle + area of two side rectangles
Total surface area = 16.5 m² + 33 m² = 49.5 m²
Therefore, the surface area of the prism is 49.5 m².
