Question

Use formulas to find the lateral area and surface area of the given prism. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

322 m^2; 327 m^2
296 m^2; 342 m^2
296 m^2; 332 m^2
322 m^2; 332 m^2

Answer 1

I know it is very much the same but it is a different shape from the last one so I was not sure how to do it

Answer 2

From your choices, I guess I can infer what lateral area means... but more on that later...
For now, what's the total area of all the faces? That'll be your surface area.

Answer 3

2 ( 5 + 140.14 + 52)

Answer 4

I think that is right

Answer 5

the 140.14 should not be doubled-- there is only one face with that area.
Remember that this is no longer a rectangular prism.

Answer 6

ok so then what should it look like because I have no Idea

Answer 7

2 (5) + 140.14 + 2(52) is that it

Answer 8

You seem to have forgotten the area of the bottom rectangle.

Answer 9

also, 52 should not be doubled-- once again, there is only one rectangle with that area

Answer 10

it is 130 for the bottom rectangle

Answer 11

Yes, indeed.

Answer 12

so then that gives me
2 (5) + 140.14 + 52 + 130

Answer 13

yes. Add those up.

Answer 14

332.14 or 332

Answer 15

once again narrowing it down to two choices.
Now the lateral area just removes the area of the base, and there is only one base, the bottom rectangle.

Answer 16

so 332.14 - 130

Answer 17

Yup

Answer 18

202.14 or 202

Answer 19

apparently not in your choices... hang on.

Answer 20

Okay, I have reason to believe that the bases are the two triangles...

Answer 21

So take away their area.

Answer 22

ok so 332.14 - 10

Answer 23

Yeah.

Answer 24

322.14 or 322

Answer 25

mhmm

Answer 26

ok I have 2 more questions do you think you could help me with those 2

Answer 27

I have to go in a few minutes.

Answer 28

in a different question of course

Answer 29

Sorry I can't stay much longer. Post the questions, I'll see if I can speed you through them.

Answer 30

ok
