Question

he has 250 square feet of metal to use to build the shed.
what is the surface area of the storage shed that frank designed? square feet
does frank have enough metal to construct his design?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify shapes in net

The net has 4 squares (6ft×6ft) and 4 triangles (base=6ft, height=4ft).

Step2: Calculate area of squares

Area of 1 square: $6×6=36$ sq ft. Total squares: $4×36=144$ sq ft.

Step3: Calculate area of triangles

Area of 1 triangle: $\frac{1}{2}×6×4=12$ sq ft. Total triangles: $4×12=48$ sq ft.

Step4: Total surface area

Sum: $144 + 48 = 216$ sq ft.

Step5: Compare with metal available

216 < 250, so enough.

Answer:

216 square feet; Yes
