To find the surface area of the tank without the top cover, we need to calculate the area of each of the four sides and the bottom separately and then sum them up.
1. Area of the front and back sides (both the same):
Length * height = 33.93 in * 17.69 in = 600.31 in^2
2. Area of the two long sides (both the same):
Width * height = 15.81 in * 17.69 in = 279.63 in^2
3. Area of the bottom:
Length * width = 33.93 in * 15.81 in = 536.51 in^2
Now, add up the areas of all the sides:
600.31 in^2 (front and back sides) + 279.63 in^2 * 2 (two long sides) + 536.51 in^2 (bottom)
= 600.31 in^2 + 559.26 in^2 + 536.51 in^2
= 1696.08 in^2
Therefore, the surface area of the tank without the top cover is approximately 1696.08 in^2. "2,846.08 in^2" is the closest rounded answer from the options given.
Question: Apply the technique of using nets to find the surface area of a turtle’s tank, which measures 33.93 inches long by 15.81 inches wide by 17.69 inches tall.
