Answer 13

ok hold on

Answer 14

Yep, thankyou so much.

Answer 15

So many things to assume. One of them, hopefully, being the triangular base being an isosceles triangle.

Answer 16

So, assuming that, the formula for the surface area is vague at worst, but it always involves getting the area of each of the faces of your figure, then adding them all up.

Answer 17

I don't know how to do that.

Answer 18

do you know the surface area formula

Answer 19

I think the formula is A =1 over 2bh

Answer 20

The formula for the SA is SA = 2B +(s1 +s2 +s3)h am I right?

Answer 21

no

Answer 22

What is it then?

Answer 23

SA = wh + lw + lh + ls

Answer 24

= width
h = height
l = length
s = side

Answer 25

is the width 6cm?

Answer 26

yes correct

Answer 27

so
SA = 6(4) + 14(6) +14(4) +14(?)

Answer 28

What is the side?

Answer 29

w=6,s=4,1=14

Answer 30

SA = 6(4) + 14(6) +14(4) +14(5) is that correct?

Answer 31

wait are you with me

Answer 32

Yeah, I am solving for the formula.

Answer 33

Y? am I doing it wrong?

Answer 34

no i didnt give you a height yet

Answer 35

Oh, lol, sorry.

Answer 36

wait im doing it

Answer 37

Doing what?

Answer 38

the problem

Answer 39

i work slow cause i get the right answer

Answer 40

Area of two bases = 4 times 6 = 24
Area of bottom = 6 times 14= 84
Area of two sides = 2 times 5 times 14 = 140
Total area = 24+84+140=248

Answer 41

you were partly right

Answer 42

Thank you for your help!

Answer 43

np do you get it now

Answer 44

yeah. Do you think you can answer one more question of mine?

Answer 45

sure ask away

Answer 46

What is the approximate length of the lateral surface for the cylinder shown here in net form?
a. 31.4 in
b. 62.8 in
c. 78.5 in
d. 376.8 in

Answer 47

ok hold on

Answer 48

the lateral surface of the cylinder=(area of the circle base) times (height of cylinder).

Answer 49

u there

Answer 50

Yes. So, how do you find the area of a circle?

Answer 51

the 10 is the diameter. The area of the circle base is pi*diameter of the circle

Answer 52

31.4 is the area of the circle.

Answer 53

So, 31.4 * 12 = 376.8

Answer 54

correct good job your doing good

Answer 55

anything else

Answer 56

Yes, I think one more. (thank you soooo much, i really really appreciate it!!!)

Answer 57

no problem

Answer 58

ask away

Answer 59

What is the surface area this storage box?

a. 15.625 ft ^2
b. 18.75 ft ^2
c. 37.5 ft ^2
d. 45 ft ^2

Answer 60

So, 6(2.5) ^2 = 15

Answer 61

wait no sry did it wrong hold on this is what happens when you dont take your time

Answer 62

Lol, its okay, that is what I got at first, and I am stuck on it.

Answer 63

each side is a square of length 2.5 and so area 2.52 there are 6 sides so you want 6×2.52

Answer 64

Where did 2.52 come from, isn't it just 2.5?

Answer 65

so it would be 2.5^2*6

Answer 66

so its A anything else

Answer 67

2.5 times 2.5=6.25 times 6

Answer 68

I am just checking if this is right. I got 495 m^2.

Calculate the surface area of this triangular prism.
a. 255 m^2
b. 360 m^2
c. 468 m^2
d. 495 m^2

Answer 69

=37.5

Answer 70

how did you get that? and that is not in one of the a,b,c,d option.

Answer 71

37.5ft^2
its C sry

Answer 72

Ok, thank you.

Answer 73

im doing the other one do you still need help or no

Answer 74

and np

Answer 75

Which other one?

Answer 76

495m^2

Answer 77

Oh, you were doing the box, I thought you were doing the triangle prism.

Answer 78

thats the one im doing

Answer 79

So the triangle prism is, 495m^2? and the box is 37.5 ft ^2?

Answer 80

im not sure about 495m^2 but the rest are right since you didnt give me time to finish the other one

Answer 81

Oh, sorry.

Answer 82

well i got my own work to finish so yea

Answer 83

just say yours is right

Answer 84
