Answer:
The area of the top surface is: 8.625ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for top surface
Required
Determine the surface area of the top surface
From the attachment, the top surface has the following shapes and dimensions.
1) Rectangle: 1.5ft by 2.5ft
2) Rectangle: 2.5ft by 1.5ft
3) Triangle: Base and Height = 1.5ft
So, the area of the top surface is:
Area = Area of [Rectangle + Rectangle + Triangle]
[tex]Area= 1.5 * 2.5 + 2.5 * 1.5 + 0.5 * 1.5 * 1.5[/tex]
[tex]Area= 8.625ft^2[/tex]
