<em>How much space does Lacey's mom cover in frosting? </em>
My answer:
As we know that the surface area of the the cake is made up of rectangles. The formula for find the area of a rectangle is A = lw
- The area of rectangle ABCD: 4*2 = 8
- The area of rectangle ADFE : 12*2 = 24
- The area of rectangle TJVS : 4*2 = 8
- The area of rectangle ESFV :9*2 = 18
- The area of rectangle HTJG: 5*2 = 10
- The area of rectangle CBHG: 2*8 = 16
The area of CDEVGJ = ABHTFS
= 4*12 + 4*5
= 68
So the total area is: 68 +68 +16+10+18+8+24+8 = 220
Hope it will find you well
