4. Find the area of the figure below. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
A Rectangular prism has a height of 21mm, Base 1 equals 58mm, Base 2 equals 47mm, and side length of 15mm
Choose 1 of the following
A. 1185 mm^2
B. 1972.5 mm^2
C. 1657.5 mm^2
D. 1500 mm^2
The area of the rectangular prism can be calculated with the formula:
Area = 2(Base1 x Base2) + 2(Base1 x height) + 2(Base2 x height)
Plugging in the values, we get:
Area = 2(58 x 47) + 2(58 x 21) + 2(47 x 21)
Area = 2(2726) + 2(1218) + 2(987)
Area = 5452 + 2436 + 1974
Area = 9862 mm^2
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the area of the figure is 9862 mm^2 which is closest to option B. 1972.5 mm^2.
