Question 6
WORLD RECORD The world's largest ice cream cake was created on May 10, 2011, in Toronto, Canada. The cake
was 4.45 meters long, 4.06 meters wide, and 1 meter tall. All surfaces of the cake except the bottom were covered
with a cookie crumble topping. Use an appropriate two-dimensional model to approximate the area covered by the
cookie crumble topping. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a square meter.
m²



Answer :

The surface area covered by the rectangular cookie crumble topping is of 35.1 m².

What is the surface area of a rectangular prism?

The surface area of a rectangular prism of height h, width w and length l is given by:

S = 2(hw + lw + lh).

For this problem, the bottom is not covered, hence the surface area will be of:

S = 2(hw + lh) + lw.

The dimensions are given as follows:

l = 4.45, w = 4.06, h = 1.

Hence the surface area is:

S = 2(4.06 x 1 + 4.45 x 1) + 4.45 x 4.06 = 35.1 m².
