fan and medal! Find the surface area of the prism. A. 2299 mm2 B. 2954.5 mm2 C. 3173 mm2 D. 498,180 mm2 https://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1394500_1395000/1394713/1/6668214b67bc455c9ab550a095c0f63c6f113eee/67457_FGA_U5_L6_V2_P.jpg
do you know how to find the surface area
no
surface area is lenght* width*2 + length*highth*2+width*highth*2=
which one is the lenth
so lets say l=2 w=3 and h=4 itll by 2*3*2+2*4*2+3*4*2=52
it doesnt matter if it doesnt give the length width or hight give the 3 measurments a place so lets say ok the formula is different than the one i sadi ealry becase its a trangleular prism
do you know how to find area
so its 30x23x2
no ok do you know how to find area of rectagle and triangles
yes basexheight/2
ok so find the area of each side so there are 3 reatagals then 2 triangle
okay
the rectangle formula is l*w so 30*38 then sine there are 3 sides what do you get
1140
3420=1140*3
yes but there are 3 rectangles so instead of adding 1140 3 times mulitply by the number of sides wich is 3
ok thenyou have the triangles
what do you think are the triangles dementions the numbers you muilitply
23*19/2=218.5
wait i didnt need to divide since there is to triangles
437
correct i was just going to say that now you just add the 2 nubers
do you get it
hey i know why it the anwser doesnt match i mis read the shape
srry im back
so what do i do do i add them together
i mis calulated sorry but i know how to do it
usally shapes have equal side but this doesnt
the rectangles have dirrent lenghts
really
how can you tell
so the hight is 38 but the lenghts are diferint
okay i give up i will just guess
thank you for your time
so the hight is 38 but the lenghts are diferint
