Find the outside surface area. Note that the containter has a top. (Assume a = 1.95 in, b = 1.35 in, c = 1.3 in, d = 1.25 in, and e = 2 in.)
To find the outside surface area of the container, we will need to calculate the individual areas of each side and add them together.
The container has a rectangular base with dimensions a and b. The area of the base is given by:
Area of base = a * b
Next, the container has four rectangular sides with dimensions c and d. The area of each side is:
Area of side = c * d
Lastly, the container has a top, which is a rectangle with dimensions a and b. The area of the top is:
Area of top = a * b
To find the total outside surface area, we need to add the areas of the base, sides, and top together:
Total outside surface area = Area of base + 4 * Area of side + Area of top
Substituting the given values, we have:
Total outside surface area = (a * b) + 4 * (c * d) + (a * b)
Plugging in the given values, where a = 1.95 in, b = 1.35 in, c = 1.3 in, d = 1.25 in, and e = 2 in:
Total outside surface area = (1.95 * 1.35) + 4 * (1.3 * 1.25) + (1.95 * 1.35)
