To find the surface area, Brad splits the figure into two pieces, the rectangular prism and the triangular prism.
He finds the total surface area of the rectangular prism by finding the area of each face
to get 1,104 cm
He then finds the total surface area of the triangular prism by finding the area of each
face to get 1,008 cm
Finally, he adds the surface areas together to get 2,112 cm.
Is Brad's solution correct? Why or why not?
Select the option that correctly answers both questions.
No, he did not find the correct total surface area for the triangular prism.
O No, he did not find the correct total surface area for the rectangular prism.
No, he needs to subtract the areas of the faces where the two prisms are
attached
Yes, he correctly found the sum of the surface areas for each prism.
