Question

Consider the prism shown below. Find the surface area of the prism.

Answer 1

Just find the area of each shape on the triangular prism

Answer 2

After you find the area of each shape, add them together

Answer 3

Area = base * height

Answer 4

With the numbers that have already been provided?

Answer 5

yes @vanessarose1

Answer 6

One triangle (sides)- 6 * 8 divided by 2
48/2 = 24
There's two of these triangles so we double this.
The two side triangles measure up to 48 meters.
Now for the top rectangle.
The dimensions are 10 by 17.
So we multiply 10 by 17 and get 170. Once again there's two of these. So double 170 and get 340.
Now for the smaller rectangle.
The dimensions for that are 6 by 17. Multiply these.
6 * 17 = 102.
Add all the values.
48 + 340 + 102 = ?
You answer that XD

Answer 7

Can I have a medal please

Answer 8

WAIT I MESSED UP!

Answer 9

Triangles (Both)- 48m
Top Rectangle- 170
Bottom Rectangle- 136 [(8)(17)]
Smaller Rectangle- 102
Add these; 48 + 170 + 136 + 102 = ?

Answer 10

Oh okay, I understand now! Thank you so much! I'll give you a medal! @Timmyk14

Answer 11

Thanks!
I thought that the hypotenuse of the side triangles measured the same as the base of the triangle XD Silly me. Good thing I checked my work
