Find the surface area of the two-tiered steps.

Question

Answers : 879 in² , 2,320.5 in² , 1,171.5 in² , 1,409.5 in²

Answer 1

To find the surface area of the two-tiered steps, we need to calculate the surface area of each tier separately and then add them together.

First, let's calculate the surface area of the bottom tier:
- The length of the bottom tier = 25 ft
- The width of the bottom tier = 10 ft
- The height of the bottom tier = 3 ft

Surface area of the bottom tier = 2(length*width + length*height + width*height)
Surface area of the bottom tier = 2(25*10 + 25*3 + 10*3)
Surface area of the bottom tier = 2(250 + 75 + 30)
Surface area of the bottom tier = 2(355)
Surface area of the bottom tier = 710 ft²

Next, let's calculate the surface area of the top tier:
- The length of the top tier = 20 ft
- The width of the top tier = 5 ft
- The height of the top tier = 3 ft

Surface area of the top tier = 2(length*width + length*height + width*height)
Surface area of the top tier = 2(20*5 + 20*3 + 5*3)
Surface area of the top tier = 2(100 + 60 + 15)
Surface area of the top tier = 2(175)
Surface area of the top tier = 350 ft²

Now, let's add the surface areas of the bottom and top tiers together to find the total surface area of the two-tiered steps:
Total surface area = 710 ft² + 350 ft²
Total surface area = 1,060 ft²

Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the options. The total surface area of the two-tiered steps is 1,060 ft².
