@Hero

@timo86m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 56 as p 187 as b lateral as 672 total as 706 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Number one.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i got 1046 for total

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how? i keep getting that wrong..

OpenStudy (aripotta):

surface area of a rectangular prism = Ph + 2B 56(12) + 2(187) = 1046

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did 56 x 12 x + 2 x 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. one EIGHT seven. howd u get that?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

but 187 is B lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area of the base... 17 x 17?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 is easy just add up the sides of the figure

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you already figured out that B = 187

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh times 11. ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, ma'am

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. ill correct that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

done

OpenStudy (aripotta):

what's the second figure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

triangular prism

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yep, and what's the perimeter of the base?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm, let me add,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

42?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw in the first pic dont include the floor/ base of figure since you dont need to paint that :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok timo:)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

the base of a triangular prism is a triangle, you should get 36 as the perimeter

OpenStudy (aripotta):

and i think timo is talking about number 6? we're only on number 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um,is it not 9+12+9+12?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no, because it's a triangle, not a square or rectangle. so add up 9, 12, and 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. ok.. i get it:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me write that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b would be..umm..let me calculate..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um, 54?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay! im finally getting it! tnx to the awesome ari! i mean 296!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok,let me write 54 down.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, eo,lateral, let me try.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

324

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no. the lateral area would be the rectangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. but are the formu,as not the same or smthing?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no, they're not. that formula was for a rectangular prism. this is a triangular prism

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it too asks for the lateral area of the triang. prism

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u plz explain for the triang prism?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

just find the areas for each of the rectangles and add them together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. um, let me try,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

438?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aah! um, area of a triangle is bh,yes?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you're not trying to find the area of the triangle. you're finding the areas of each of the rectangles

OpenStudy (aripotta):

and area of a triangle = bh/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh. so im actually finding the area of rectangles as those a re the laterals'/sides?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh. ok,once more..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um, was it more or less than my last answ er?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

...more.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

372?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

311, i gotta do some chemistry soon. no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to include the 15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok,last try. 444.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

what's the area of this rectangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, 22 x 12, no?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes, which is...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm,264

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes. and what's the area of this rectangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm, 350

OpenStudy (anonymous):

594?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

why are you guessing? what's 22 x 15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

350

OpenStudy (aripotta):

it's 330

OpenStudy (aripotta):

and what's the area of this rectangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im using a calculator.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i'm using one too. it's 330

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first i said 264

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i put 22*15 into web22.0calc

OpenStudy (aripotta):

maybe you should use a different calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm,let me see. then..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o yea! just used google's

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so what's the area of that last rectangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um,the first one was 264. the second 330?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

what's the area of this rectangle...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 x 12?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

9 x 22...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm 198

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes. so what's 198 + 330 + 264?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um 762

OpenStudy (aripotta):

792

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. ill let you alone now. tnx ill search for someone elses hellp if u like

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i was gonna finish helping you with this one. you still have to find total surface area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o yea

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so 792 is our lateral area, all we have to do is add the areas of those two triangle. what do you get?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

triangles*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um... let me se..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 12 tthe base?
