Lacey's mom makes her a birthday cake in the shape of an "L" . Lacey loves frosting, so her mom covers the entire outside of the cake in frosting, even the bottom of the cake. How much space does Lacey's mom cover in frosting?

1360cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shape of the cake is in L shape, we can divide the cake in to rectangles..

The amount of space covered by the frosting = The sum of the areas of the sides that we can find in this L shaped cake diagram.

The sides of this cake, are shaped like a rectangle.

Hence, Area of a Rectangle = Length × Width

a) Side 1 = Rectangle on the left

Area of a Rectangle = Length × Breadth

Length = 30cm

Breadth =10cm

Area = 30 × 10 = 300cm²

Since we have another side with this measurement/ dimensions also,

Side 2 = 300cm²

Side 3 = The front face of the cube by the right

Area of a Rectangle = Length × Breadth

Length = 22cm - 10cm = 12cm

Breadth =10cm

Area = 12 × 10 = 120cm²

Likewise, we have the another side with the same dimensions as well

Hence, Side 4 = 120cm²

Side 5

30 × 5 = 150cm²

Side 6

10 × 5 = 50cm²

Side 7

20 × 5 = 100cm²

Side 8

22cm × 5 cm = 110cm²

Side 9

10cm × 5cm = 50cm²

Side 10

12cm × 5cm = 60cm²

The amount of space covered by the frosting = Area of Sides( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10)

= (300 + 300 + 120 + 120 + 150 + 50 + 100 + 110 + 50 + 60) cm²

= 1360cm²

2 is the final ! : )
