What is the total surface area of the figure 32m 12m 20m 8m 10m

Answer 1

To find the total surface area of this figure, we need to calculate the surface area of each individual side and then add them all together.

The figure described has 6 sides: four rectangular sides and two triangular sides.

Rectangular sides:
1. Surface area = length x width
Surface area = 32m x 12m = 384 square meters (2 sides)
Surface area = 20m x 8m = 160 square meters (2 sides)

Triangular sides:
1. Surface area = (1/2) x base x height
Surface area = (1/2) x 10m x 20m = 100 square meters (1 triangle)
Surface area = (1/2) x 8m x 12m = 48 square meters (1 triangle)

Total surface area = 384 + 160 + 100 + 48 = 692 square meters

Therefore, the total surface area of the figure is 692 square meters.
