Kym’s sawhorse is 39 inches tall, 27 inches long, and 19 inches wide It’s hypotenuse is 40.14 inches. What is the total surface area

1 answer

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

1. Top: The surface area of the top of the sawhorse is the length times the width:
27 inches x 19 inches = 513 square inches

2. Front and back: The surface area of the front and back of the sawhorse is the height times the length:
39 inches x 27 inches = 1053 square inches (for one side)
1053 square inches x 2 = 2106 square inches (for both sides)

3. Sides: The surface area of the sides of the sawhorse is the height times the width:
39 inches x 19 inches = 741 square inches (for one side)
741 square inches x 2 = 1482 square inches (for both sides)

Total Surface Area = Top + Front and Back + Sides
Total Surface Area = 513 sq in + 2106 sq in + 1482 sq in
Total Surface Area = 4101 square inches

Therefore, the total surface area of Kym's sawhorse is 4101 square inches.
