Kym’s saw horse is 39 inches tall 27 inches long and 19 inches wide. It’s a diagonal measurement or the hypotenuse, Is 40.14 inches? What is the total surface area around your answer to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

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

Using the measurements given:
Height = 39 inches
Length = 27 inches
Width = 19 inches

Surface area of the top and bottom sides:
2 * (Length * Width) = 2 * (27 * 19) = 1026 square inches

Surface area of the two longer sides:
2 * (Length * Height) = 2 * (27 * 39) = 2106 square inches

Surface area of the two shorter sides:
2 * (Width * Height) = 2 * (19 * 39) = 1482 square inches

So, the total surface area of the saw horse is:
1026 + 2106 + 1482 = 4614 square inches

Therefore, the total surface area of Kym's saw horse is 4614 square inches.
