Question

Alice is building a caterpillar habitat for some caterpillars she found in her back yard. She plans to cover all sides of the habitat with screen so the caterpillars get plenty of fresh air. What is the total amount of screen that Alice will need for her habitat? Give an exact answer (do not round).

Answer 1

Answer:

3.04 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area =0.8x0.4 = 0.32 (two of these - one on each end)

1x0.4=0.4 (two of these - top and bottom) (Strange to cover bottom with screen, but have to follow the directions.)

1x0.8=0.8 (two of these - front and back)

TOTAL = 0.32+0.32+0.4+0.4+0.8+0.8=3.04

Answer 2

Total amount of screen that Alice will need for her habitat is 3.04 meter square

What is Surface area?

The surface area of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies.

Given,

Dimensions of the Caterpillar habitat is,

Width w=1 meter

Length l= 0.4 meter

Height h= 0.8 meter

Surface area = 2lw+2lh+2hw

=2×0.4×1+2×0.4×0.8+2×0.8×1

=0.8+0.64+1.6

=3.04 meter square

Hence, Total amount of screen that Alice will need for her habitat is 3.04 meter square
