Each vertical cross-section of the triangular prism shown below is an isosceles triangle.4What is the slant height, s, of the triangular prism?Round your answer to the nearest tenth.The slant height isunits

Answer 1

The length of the diagonal of a cube can be calculated by the formula

$\begin{gathered} d=a\sqrt[]{3} \\ \text{where a is one side of the cube} \\ a=60 \end{gathered}$

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} d=60\sqrt[]{3}\text{ units} \\ d=103.92\text{ units (2 decimal place)} \end{gathered}$
