Accepted Answer

### Question 5
# Explanation:
## Step1: Analyze each view's area
- Top and Bottom: Each has 3 squares. Area per view: $3\times1\times1 = 3$ (since each cube face is $1\times1$ $cm^2$). Total for top + bottom: $3 + 3 = 6$.
- Left and Right: Each has 3 squares. Area per view: $3\times1\times1 = 3$. Total for left + right: $3 + 3 = 6$.
- Front and Back: Each has 5 squares. Area per view: $5\times1\times1 = 5$. Total for front + back: $5 + 5 = 10$.

## Step2: Sum all areas
Total surface area: $6 + 6 + 10 = 22$.

# Answer:
d. $22\space cm^2$

### Question 6
# Explanation:
## Step1: Dimensions of one prism
Each prism: length $l = 55\space cm$, side of square end $s = 25\space cm$ (so width $w = 25\space cm$, height $h = 25\space cm$).

## Step2: Surface area of one prism
Surface area of a rectangular prism: $2(lw + lh + wh)$.
For one prism: $2(55\times25 + 55\times25 + 25\times25) = 2(1375 + 1375 + 625) = 2(3375) = 6750\space cm^2$.

## Step3: Total for 3 prisms (before overlap)
Total: $3\times6750 = 20250\space cm^2$.

## Step4: Subtract overlapping areas
When joined, two faces (each $25\times25$) overlap (since 3 prisms: two joints, each overlapping $25\times25$ area twice? Wait, no: 3 prisms joined along length? Wait, the diagram shows a stack? Wait, no, the object is made by 3 prisms: maybe two are attached to the third? Wait, no, the figure: let's re - examine. Wait, the object: each prism is $55\times25\times25$. If we have 3 prisms, maybe arranged as two on the bottom (side by side?) and one on top? Wait, no, the problem says "3 identical right rectangular prisms". Wait, maybe the arrangement is such that two prisms are attached to the third, overlapping two $25\times25$ faces each? Wait, no, let's think again. Wait, when you join two prisms, the overlapping area is $2\times(25\times25)$ (since two surfaces, one from each prism, are covered). For 3 prisms, how many overlaps? If arranged in a line (length - wise), but no, the square ends. Wait, maybe the arrangement is: two prisms are placed side by side (width - wise) and one on top? Wait, no, the square end is $25\times25$, so the cross - section is square. Wait, maybe the object is formed by attaching two prisms to the front and back of the third? No, the figure: let's assume the arrangement is such that two prisms are attached to the third, each overlapping a $25\times25$ face. Wait, no, the correct way: when 3 prisms are joined, the overlapping area: if we have three prisms, arranged as a base of two (side by side, so their square ends are adjacent? No, wait, length is 55, square ends are 25x25. Wait, maybe the prisms are arranged with their length along 55, and the square ends (25x25) are the faces. So when we put three prisms together, maybe two are attached to the third, each overlapping a $25\times25$ face. Wait, no, let's calculate the overlapping area correctly. Suppose the 3 prisms are arranged such that two of them are attached to the third, each overlapping a $25\times25$ area. Wait, no, when you join two prisms, the overlapping area is $25\times25$ (since the square end is 25x25). For 3 prisms, there are 2 joints, each joint overlapping $2\times(25\times25)$ (because two prisms lose one $25\times25$ face each). So total overlapping area: $2\times2\times(25\times25)=2\times2\times625 = 2500\space cm^2$. Wait, no, no: when you join prism A and prism B, the surface area lost is $2\times(25\times25)$ (one face from A, one from B). If we have three prisms: A - B - C (joined along length), then between A and B: lost $2\times25\times25$, between B and C: lost $2\times25\times25$. So total lost: $2\times2\times25\times25 = 2500\space cm^2$.

Wait, no, maybe the arrangement is different. Wait, the figure: let's look at the diagram (even though we can't see it, but the problem says "3 identical right rectangular prisms". Each has square ends (so width = height = 25, length = 55). The object: maybe two prisms are placed side by side (so their length is 55, and width is 25 + 25 = 50, height 25), and the third is placed on top (length 55, width 25, height 25). Wait, no, that would be different. Wait, maybe the correct way: the three prisms are arranged such that two are attached to the third, each overlapping a $25\times55$ face? No, the square ends are 25x25, so the ends are 25x25, length is 55. So the lateral faces are 55x25 (length x height) and 55x25 (length x width), and the ends are 25x25.

Wait, maybe the object is formed by stacking three prisms? No, the square ends are 25x25, so height and width are 25. Wait, I think I made a mistake. Let's re - calculate the surface area of one prism: $2(lw + lh + wh)=2(55\times25 + 55\times25 + 25\times25)=2(1375 + 1375 + 625)=2\times3375 = 6750\space cm^2$. Now, for three prisms, if they are arranged in a way that two of them are attached to the third, each sharing a $25\times55$ face? No, the square ends are 25x25, so the area of the square end is $25\times25 = 625\space cm^2$, and the lateral faces are $55\times25$.

Wait, maybe the correct arrangement is: the three prisms are placed such that two are on the bottom (side by side, so their square ends are adjacent, but no, square ends are 25x25, length is 55. Wait, I think the key is: when you put three prisms together, the overlapping area is $2\times(25\times25)\times2$? No, let's look at the answer. Wait, maybe the object is made by attaching two prisms to the third, each overlapping a $25\times25$ face. So for three prisms, total surface area = 3*(surface area of one) - 4*(25*25). Wait, 3*6750 = 20250. 4*625 = 2500. 20250 - 2500 = 17750? No, that can't be. Wait, maybe I got the arrangement wrong.

Wait, another approach: each prism has surface area $2(55\times25 + 55\times25 + 25\times25)=2(1375 + 1375 + 625)=2\times3375 = 6750$. Three prisms: 3*6750 = 20250. Now, when we join them, how many faces are covered? If the prisms are joined along the $25\times25$ faces, then for each joint (between two prisms), we lose two $25\times25$ faces (one from each prism). For three prisms, there are two joints. So total lost area: 2 joints * 2*(25*25) = 2*2*625 = 2500. So total surface area: 20250 - 2500 = 17750? But that seems too big. Wait, maybe the prisms are arranged with their length along 55, and the square ends (25x25) are the top and bottom? No, the problem says "square ends of side length 25 cm", so the ends are square, so length is 55, width = height = 25.

Wait, maybe the object is a combination where two prisms are stacked on the third. So the third prism is at the bottom, and two are on top, each overlapping a $25\times55$ face. Wait, $25\times55 = 1375\space cm^2$. So for two overlaps, total lost area: 2*2*1375 = 5500. Then total surface area: 3*6750 - 5500 = 20250 - 5500 = 14750? No, this is confusing. Wait, maybe the diagram shows that two prisms are attached to the third, each overlapping a $25\times25$ face. So the correct formula:

Surface area of one prism: $2(lw + lh + wh)=2(55\times25 + 55\times25 + 25\times25)=2(1375 + 1375 + 625)=6750$.

Three prisms: $3\times6750 = 20250$.

Overlap: when we join three prisms, there are two places where they are joined, each join covers two $25\times25$ faces (one from each prism). So total overlap area: $2\times2\times(25\times25)=2\times2\times625 = 2500$.

Total surface area: $20250 - 2500 = 17750\space cm^2$. But I'm not sure. Wait, maybe the answer is different, but let's proceed with the calculation.

# Answer:
$17750\space cm^2$ (assuming the above calculation is correct. If the arrangement is different, the answer may vary, but based on the given information, this is the calculation for surface area of 3 prisms with overlapping areas considered).
