Sadie Pace · Answer 1

Given that SA=2s² + 4sh

-

Plug in s=3 and h=5:

SA = 2 (3) ² + 4 (3) (5) = 18 + 60 = 78 units²

-

Answer: SA = 78 units²

Marco Wilson · Answer 2

so you subtitute and get SA=2 (2) 2+4 (2) (4) and get SA=8+32=40

actually the surface area is 2 (s^2) + 4sh and if you subitute you get the same thing
