Understand the Problem

The question involves calculating the lateral and total surface area of a house-shaped figure. It provides dimensions for different segments of the structure. The goal is to find these surface areas by applying geometric formulas.

Answer

Lateral Surface Area: $527 \, \text{units}^2$; Total Surface Area: $790.5 \, \text{units}^2$
Answer for screen readers

Lateral Surface Area: $527 , \text{units}^2$
Total Surface Area: $790.5 , \text{units}^2$

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify Dimensions of the House-shaped Figure
    The house has the following dimensions:
  • Length of the rectangular part: ( 17 ) units
  • Width of the rectangular part: ( 10 ) units

For the triangular part of the house, we have:

  • Height of the triangle: ( 11 ) units
  • Base of the triangle (the same as the length of the house): ( 17 ) units
  1. Calculate Lateral Surface Area
    The lateral surface area of the house consists of the walls of the rectangular part and the two sides of the triangular part. The lateral area is calculated as follows:
  • Rectangular part:

    • Two identical rectangular sides: Each has an area ( A_r = \text{Length} \times \text{Height} = 17 \times 10 )
  • Triangular part:

    • The two triangular sides: Each has an area ( A_t = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 17 \times 11 )

So the total lateral surface area is:
$$ Lateral , Surface , Area = 2A_r + 2A_t $$

  1. Calculate Total Surface Area
    The total surface area includes the lateral area plus the area of the roof and the base. Since the roof is a triangle, we calculate:
  • Roof area (same as the triangular part):
    $$ A_{\text{roof}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} $$

  • Base area (perhaps assumed to be the rectangular base):
    $$ A_{\text{base}} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 17 \times 10 $$

Thus, the total surface area is calculated as:
$$ Total , Surface , Area = Lateral , Surface , Area + A_{\text{roof}} + A_{\text{base}} $$

  1. Substituting and Calculating Values
    Substitute calculated values into the equations:
  • Area of rectangular sides:
    $$ A_r = 17 \times 10 = 170 $$
  • Area of triangular sides:
    $$ A_t = \frac{1}{2} \times 17 \times 11 = 93.5 $$

Combine these:
$$ Lateral , Surface , Area = 2(170) + 2(93.5) = 340 + 187 = 527 , \text{units}^2 $$

  • Area of the roof:
    $$ A_{\text{roof}} = 93.5 , \text{units}^2 $$
  • Area of the base:
    $$ A_{\text{base}} = 170 , \text{units}^2 $$

Finally, calculate total surface area:
$$ Total , Surface , Area = 527 + 93.5 + 170 = 790.5 , \text{units}^2 $$

Lateral Surface Area: $527 , \text{units}^2$
Total Surface Area: $790.5 , \text{units}^2$

More Information

The calculation for the lateral surface area involved determining the surface area of each wall of the house, while the total surface area took into account both the lateral area and the areas of the roof and base of the structure.

Tips

  • Misidentifying the dimensions of the sides and/or base of the triangular section.
  • Forgetting to account for both sides of the triangular structure when calculating lateral area.
