Question

Help figuring out Lateral area of a right triangle prism

Answer 1

Im trying to figure out how you work out this problem, im not good at square rooting

Answer 2

these measures are 8 -4 - 6 ?

Answer 3

yes, i did i think for Lateral Area= 6 times 8 to get 48..?

Answer 4

but will be 2*6*8 +8*4 the lateral area because how is drawing there so the base is a triangle and on the top is a triangle too - so this mean that the laetral area will be added,assumed by these area of 3 rectangles

ok. ?

Answer 5

do you understand it why ?

Answer 6

Ok it making a little more sense now, didnt think of of the triangle on top and the one on the bottom. So then would it be 96+32 to get 128..?

Answer 7

Am i on the right track?

Answer 8

yes sure exactly

Answer 9

good work

was my pleasure

good luck

bye

Answer 10

ok would that be it then? I am confused on why for the answer mark for this blank with a plus and then a square root..?

Answer 11

Like im suppose to have a square root somwhere..?

Answer 12

why you think that will be squareroot ?

Answer 13

I have no idea, on my paper its like (___+___*squareroot*)

Answer 14

sqaureroot can being there just than you calculi area of triangles from the base and the top but above we have said it that the lateral area is formed just from rectangles

Answer 15

Ok, so the lateral area is just the 128 then?

Answer 16

Or is the total area suppose to be that second part?

Answer 17

so indifferent than you calculi area of these triangles from the top and the base not will be there like result squarrot in your answer sure because area of triangles from the base and the top - because these triangles are right so than you know the height of them and the base - and you know it sure that area of a triangle is base time height divide 2

yes ,

Answer 18

indifferent the total area not will have the result squarrott too

Answer 19

because there are rectangles with area width time length and right triangles with area base time height divide 2 - so this is sure that not will be there in your answer never squarroot

hopw this will help you understanding it

yes ,

Answer 20

ok kind of confusing but i see that either way there is no square root even with the total area

Answer 21

ok.

was my pleasure

good luck
