I need help with this work sheet someone helped me with some of the stuff but i need help plugging in the values to these A) use Pythagorean Theorem: d^2=a^2 + b^2 B) A= a*c C) V=1/2 * a*b*c D) surface area = sum of all surfaces: 2(1/2 ac)+dc+ac+bc Please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

b=8; a=8; c=12

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what part are you needing help with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Everything I don't understand it, Im really confused can you please help me

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well; lets start with the easier ones: A = a*c A = 8*12 ; what is the value for A then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

96?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is that a guess? :) yes, 8*12 = 96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that was a gues lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

V = (1/2) * a*b*c V = (1/2)* 8*6*12 ; what is the value for V?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

just work it left to right what is (1/2)*8= ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 12? im confuesd on this part

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac{1}{2}*\frac{8}{1}=\frac{8}{2}\] what is 8 divided by 2 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good; and 4*6 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good; and the last part of it is: 24*12 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

288

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep :) so V = 288 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

Sa = ab+dc+ac+bc Sa = but we dont know d yet; so lets hold that one d^2 = a^2 + b^2 d^2 = (8)(8) + (6)(6) ; what is the value for d^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good d^2 = 100 ; lets take the square root of both side to find 'd' sqrt(d^2) = sqrt(100) d = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 10?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it is :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so we now have all the values needed for the Sa. a = 8; b=6; c=12; d=10

OpenStudy (amistre64):

Sa = ab + c(a+b+d) Sa = 8(6) + 12(8+6+10); what is Sa ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

84

OpenStudy (amistre64):

let me dbl chk that: Sa = 8(6) + 12(8+6+10) Sa = 48 + 12 (24) Sa = 48 + 288 Sa = 336

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i see, can we do the first one now A) use Pythagorean Theorem: d^2=a^2 + b^2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

there is one part that is off; and that the area of the triangular base; you read it wrong.... it wants to know the area of the triangle part

OpenStudy (amistre64):

Yes; A) = 10 , we worked thru all these already right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops forgot lol, can you help me with another problem?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

part B) wants to know: A = (1/2) *a*b A = (1/2) * 8 * 6; what is A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

OpenStudy (amistre64):

very good :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

write up another question on the left to see if others can help you out as well :) thnx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay
