Find the lateral area for the prism. Please help I need this quickly. https://media.glynlyon.com/g_geo_ccss_2013/8/groupi68.gif @OrangeMaster
Lateral Area Formual: (a+b+c)h
*Formula
You mean the Pythagorean thoerom times height?
No, but you will have to use Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse. Then just add the three sides of the triangle, and multiply it y the height.
( + Radical ) It has to be in this form.
Can you list the multiple choice options?
There are none
Well, then I don't think I can be of much help. Sorry though. I do know that the answer not in ( + Radical ) form is 137.68 if that helps. Sorry again. :(
It's okay thank you.
@IMStuck can you help me? Quickly please
@elementwielder HELP!!!
use pythagorean thm to solve for missing side then im pretty sure you can get it from there
That would be radical 20
for the missing side?
yeah
Because A^2 + B^2 =C^2 4^2+B^2=6^2 16+B^2=36
no because 6 is not the hypotenuse
Is the hypotenuse the missing number?
yes
So it would be radical 52?
simplify to get 2 root 13
okay and then I add the other two sides to it so it would be 12 root 13. then I multiply it by 8, the height right?
the lateral area is a square so multiply both sides together to get your answer
Both sides of what
the lateral area so 8 and 2 root 13
16 radical 13. But it has to be in this form: ( + radical )
i hate radicals so idk
but technically 2 root 13 is a radical
right, so would my equation so far look like this ( + 16 radical 13)
hmmm..... honestly idk
im not terrible in math but im not great either
It's okay, thank you.
your welcome if you never need help again just tag me or message me and ill get back asap
Okay thanks :) I probably will in a few hours
ok
