What’s the total surface area?

208 in²

Explanation:

64 in² for the base (8•8)

Area of triangle = 1/2bh

For one triangle side:

1/2 (9•8)

1/2 (72)

36 in²

Multiply 36 in² • 4 sides = 144 in²

144 in² + 64 in² = 208 in²

check the picture below.

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
