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?

1 answer

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.
