As we can see the base of the triangular prism is an equilateral triangle with all sides equal to 9 inches. Let us represent this by b=9

It is also given that the height of the equilateral triangle is 7.8 inches. Let us represent this by h=7.8

Therefore, the area of one triangle of the base of the triangular pyramid is:

Area=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times 7.8=35.1

Thus, the area of the two triangles that make the bases of the triangular prism are:

2\times Area=2\times 35.1=70.2.........(Equation 1)

Now, the area of the three rectangular sides of the triangular prism can be calculated as:

Area_R=3\times base(width)\times height (length)=3\times 9 \times height=27\times height........(Equation 2)

We have been given the total surface area of the triangular prism to be 421.2 squared inches and we know that it is the sum of the surface areas of the triangular bases and the rectangular sides. Thus, the total surface area will be the sum of (equation 1) and (equation 2) and will equal 421.2.

Therefore, we have:

70.2+27\times height=421.2

Thus, 27\times height=421.2-70.2=351

Therefore, height=\frac{351}{27}=13 inches.

Which pairs of polygons are congruent?
Ronch [10]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

pairs 2, 3, and 4

Explanation:

Congruent polygons are polygons that have the same size and the same shape.  We can see from the diagram that the figure in pair 2 has been rotated to form the second figure in the pair.  Since the shape and size were not changed, they are congruent.

The figure in pair 3 has also been rotated; this again preserves size and shape, so the figures are congruent.

The figure in pair 4 sees to have been reflected.  This did not change the size or shape of the figure, so the pair is congruent.

HELPPPPPPPP! Which is true regarding secants and chords?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Chords and secants intersect the perimeter of a circle twice. Chords are segments entirely within a circle, while secants are lines or rays that extend through a circle.

Explanation:

A line intersecting a circle in two places is referred to as a secant.  The portion of the secant contained within the circle is called a chord.

This means that both chords and secants intersect the perimeter of a circle twice, chords are entirely inside the circle, and secants extend through a circle to the outside.

What does the correlation show about the relationship between temperature and sales of ice cream
kvasek [131]

The graph is missing. So is the set of data point values. However, I can assume that as the temperature goes up, then so does the sale of ice cream. It's not a perfect relationship, but there is a strong positive correlation between the two variables.

A positive correlation means that as one variable increases, so does the other. Also, it means that if one variable decreases, then the other variable decreases as well. The two variables move in the same direction together.
