To find the surface area of the tank, we first need to find the area of each of the six sides of the tank (since there is no top cover).
1. Front and back sides:
- Area = length x height
- Area = 33.93 in x 17.69 in
- Area = 600.5797 in²
2. Left and right sides:
- Area = width x height
- Area = 15.81 in x 17.69 in
- Area = 279.4289 in²
3. Top and bottom sides:
- Since the tank does not have a top cover, we do not need to include these in the surface area calculation.
Now, we add up the area of all four sides to find the total surface area:
Total Surface Area = 2(600.5797 in²) + 2(279.4289 in²)
Total Surface Area = 1201.1594 in² + 558.8578 in²
Total Surface Area = 1760.0172 in²
Therefore, the surface area of the turtle tank without a top cover is approximately 1760.02 in².
Apply the technique of using nets to find the surface area of a turtle’s tank which measures 33.93 in long by 15.81 in wide by 17.69 in 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
