Linda made the sculpture below as part of an art project. The sculpture is made up of a square pyramid and rectangular prism. Linda needs to paint the entire exterior surface, including the bottom. Find the
approximate area she needs to paint. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.

The answer to this question is & 17.50
