@starlord6200 @THEHELPER123 Can you guys help?

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

i might be able to help im on this unit now in k12 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm in Connections. I want to know how to do it. Thank you .

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

okay well do you know how to do the surface area that is pretty easy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea \[S.A = L.A + 2B\]

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

if we find the surface area then we know which answer is right :)

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

so plug in your numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[L.A = 6 \times 70\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

L.A = 420

OpenStudy (anonymous):

S.A = 420 + 2B

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

okay good now the surface area is A≈725.32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. I think I got it now. I guess I just needed a bit of a jumpstart. Thanks!

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

so what is your answer? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, how'd you get the surface area being 725???

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

wait no 725 is right what do you mean? :/ im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Me too. I got the lateral area wrong as well. 420 is none of the choices...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ugh. I keep getting 420.

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

okay so can you use a website i can offer? i did not use it maybe im wrong but you can check by using this :) https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+area+of+a+triangular+prism+calculator&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

your answer is B by the way lol >U<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, thanks so much!

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
