What is the surface area of the prism? A. 120 in2 B. 204 in2 C. 192 in2 D. 180 in2

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

so im guessing we do something with 180...something like that or is that just for angles. @Black_ninja123 @geerky42 @is3535 @Mehek14 @JackofallTradez @gaos @YoungTrilogyFT3

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Can someone please help me :(

Look at your prism, how many triangles side does it have?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

ummm 4?

|dw:1433369906844:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, i asked triangular sides

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

oh 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, and how do we find the surface area of a triangle?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

lxwxh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you remember the following formula S=base x height/2

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, this is for a 90 degree triangle So we gonna use the general formula S=base x height, So, what's the triangle base?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

umm 8 in is the base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the height?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

3 in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, now how much is base x height?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Keep this result, now we gonna find the rectangular surface

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

ok doki loki

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many rectangle 10x5 are there?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

50?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes this is the surface but how many rectangle with 10 in and 5 in sides are there?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many sides of the prism that are rectangle with 5 in and 10 in sides?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so two sides with 50 in squared each, what's the sum of the surface for these two sides?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

500?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

wait no 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Now the last side is the base of the prism, what figure does that looks like?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

um 3in????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, asked what figure does that looks like?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

a triangle

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

triangular prism

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's a rectangle with 10in and 8 in side isn't it?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

yes...........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's it surface?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

5 in -.-?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

S= base x height

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

-.- ummm 80?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yessss, now you must sum 24+100+80

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

204

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perfect

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Thank you!!!!!!
