Apply the technique of using nets to find the surface area of a turtle’s tank, which measures 33.93 inches long by 15.81 inches wide by 17.69 inches tall. What is the surface area of the tank if the tank does not include a top cover? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
To find the surface area of the turtle's tank, we will first determine the surface area of the individual faces of the tank and then sum them up.
The tank has 6 faces:
1. Front face: 33.93 inches long by 17.69 inches tall
2. Back face: 33.93 inches long by 17.69 inches tall
3. Left face: 15.81 inches wide by 17.69 inches tall
4. Right face: 15.81 inches wide by 17.69 inches tall
5. Bottom face: 33.93 inches long by 15.81 inches wide
6. Top face (which is not included): this face does not need to be added
Calculate the area of each face:
1. Front face: 33.93 inches * 17.69 inches = 599.9317 square inches
2. Back face: 33.93 inches * 17.69 inches = 599.9317 square inches
3. Left face: 15.81 inches * 17.69 inches = 280.5989 square inches
4. Right face: 15.81 inches * 17.69 inches = 280.5989 square inches
5. Bottom face: 33.93 inches * 15.81 inches = 536.2533 square inches
Sum up the areas of all faces except the top face:
599.9317 + 599.9317 + 280.5989 + 280.5989 + 536.2533 = 2297.3135 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the turtle's tank without a top cover is approximately 2297.31 square inches.
