Question

I have absolutely no clue how to do this problem, will some one please help explain it to me?

Answer 1

This is what it looks like.

Answer 2

hi!!
no one can do it

Answer 3

because no one has any idea what T.A is!!

Answer 4

it means total area

Answer 5

lolol math teachers can abbreviate anything
good morning class
gmc

Answer 6

the diagram makes no sense
the 3 is as big as the 6

Answer 7

if it is supposed to be a square on the bottom, then the area of that square is \(6^2=36\)

Answer 8

but the 3" throws it off

Answer 9

not clear is that is supposed to be half of the upper side or all of it
the diagram is really not right at all

Answer 10

See my problem? haha I copied the diagram word for word and none of it makes sense!

Answer 11

can you post a screen shot of the diagram?

Answer 12

Some how i am suppose to make an eqation

Answer 13

yeah i see that, but since the diagram is nonsense you cannot do it
right to the 'bad math" pile for this one

Answer 14

Answer 15

that link may not work since it is on my account

Answer 16

nah capture it

Answer 17

That is the picture. The question before it asked me to find the lateral area. I'm pretty sure it is 54 sq. in. but I'm not 100% confident on my answer

Answer 18

Maybe it's a formula i am putting together? although that isn't clear it makes more sense

Answer 19

ooh maybe that is supposed to be a 3 dimensional figure?

Answer 20

Yeah, i have to find the volume afterwards so that makes sense with it being cubed and all

Answer 21

yikes
picture is still weird but it looks like you have two sides of area \(6\times 3=18\) for a total of 36 on the sides

Answer 22

then we need the area of the two triangles

Answer 23

which i think they are indicating are equilateral, so the are is
\[\frac{\sqrt3 a^2}{4}\]

Answer 24

you get
\[\frac{9\sqrt3}{2}\] the 2 in the denominato rbecause you have two triangles

Answer 25

Makes a little sense, but it doesn't fit into the question, so it loses me once again

Answer 26

they have a little square root template there, so why not?

Answer 27

and don't forget the bottom it is \(6\times 3\) also

Answer 28

I have to drag the numbers into the right places. If i put it like that equation it doesn't work

Answer 29

god bless on line systems

Answer 30

ikr, real homework in a real class, not as bad as it once seemed!!

Answer 31

It's ridiculous. I failed geometry, so the school makes me do geometry... by myself, no teacher. Yes, that will do me wonders!
