Question

PLEASE HELP! You are covering the metal wedge below with a thin layer of high-conducting silver (surface area). The measurements shown are in centimeters. Find the cost of covering the wedge in silver, if silver plating costs $3 for every 2 square centimeters.

Answer 1

The cost of covering the triangular prism wedge in silver is: $108.

What is the Surface Area of a Triangular Prism?

Surface area = (s1 + s2 + s3)L + bh.

Given the following:

• s1 = 10
• s2 = 8
• s3 = 6
• L = 0.5
• b = 6
• h = 8

Plug in the values into the formula

Surface area of the triangular prism metal wedge = (10 + 8 + 6)0.5 + (6)(8)

Surface area of the triangular prism metal wedge = 72 cm²

Cost of covering = 72/2 × 3 = $108
