Question 15 • Grade 7 Mathematics

The surface area of which composite figure is the sum of the areas of eight triangular faces?

Answer
A
two triangular prisms joined at their congruent bases
B
two rectangular pyramids joined at two congruent lateral faces
C
two triangular prisms joined at two congruent lateral faces
D
two rectangular pyramids joined at their congruent bases

Explanation

A rectangular pyramid has four triangular lateral faces and one rectangular base. Joining two rectangular pyramids at their congruent bases hides the bases inside the composite figure, leaving four triangular faces from each pyramid. That makes eight triangular faces in total, so the correct choice is two rectangular pyramids joined at their congruent bases.
