A. What is the surface area of the step treads?
24cmx90cm = 2160cm²
2160cm² = one step tread
2160cm² x 14 = 30240cm²
Surface Area of all treads = 30240cm²
B. What is the surface area of the risers ?
18cm x 90 cm = 1620cm²
1620cm² = one riser
1620² cm x 14 = 22680cm²
Surface Area of all risers = 22680cm²
C.What is the total surface area of the part of the stairs that Silvio wants to cover?
22680cm² + 30240cm² = 52920cm²
