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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to find the surface area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

surface area is lenght* width*2 + length*highth*2+width*highth*2=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one is the lenth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so lets say l=2 w=3 and h=4 itll by 2*3*2+2*4*2+3*4*2=52

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to find area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 30x23x2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no ok do you know how to find area of rectagle and triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes basexheight/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so find the area of each side so there are 3 reatagals then 2 triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the rectangle formula is l*w so 30*38 then sine there are 3 sides what do you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1140

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3420=1140*3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but there are 3 rectangles so instead of adding 1140 3 times mulitply by the number of sides wich is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thenyou have the triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think are the triangles dementions the numbers you muilitply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23*19/2=218.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i didnt need to divide since there is to triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

437

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct i was just going to say that now you just add the 2 nubers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey i know why it the anwser doesnt match i mis read the shape

OpenStudy (anonymous):

srry im back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do i do do i add them together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mis calulated sorry but i know how to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

usally shapes have equal side but this doesnt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the rectangles have dirrent lenghts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can you tell

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the hight is 38 but the lenghts are diferint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i give up i will just guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you for your time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the hight is 38 but the lenghts are diferint
