Amy gets a new kennel for her dog. A sketch of the kennel is shown here. If the roof is in the shape of a triangular prism (bottom face included), what is the surface area of the roof of the kennel, including the bottom face?

Surface area of the roof of the kennel, including the bottom face is 58.96 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is attached below

For the triangular sides of the roof, area is

A =

where b is the base = 4 ft

h is the vertical height = 2.24 ft

A =   4.48 ft^2

for the two faces we have 2 x 4.48 ft^2 = 8.96 ft^2

For the rectangular sections of the roof, area is

A =

where is the length of the rectangle = 5 ft

h is the height of the rectangle = 3 ft

A = 5 x 3 = 15 ft^2

For the two rectangular faces, we have 2 x 15 ft^2 = 30 ft^2

For the bottom face, area is

A =

where is the length of the house = 5 ft

w is the width of the house = 4 ft

A = 5 x 4 = 20 ft^2

Surface area of the roof of the dog kennel is

8.96 ft^2 + 30 ft^2 + 20 ft^2 = 58.96 ft^2
