You can use the vertex form, y = a(x - h)^2 +k, to find the directrix.

The directrix is a fixed line associated with a parabola.

In this case, the directrix is x = -3

The base of a triangular prism is an isosceles right triangle with a hypotenuse of

Setler [38]

SA= Lateral Area + Area (of base)

Lateral area = perimeter of base x height

An isosceles triangle has two congruent base segments. The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is (length of base segment) x (the square root of 2). I did the math for you (shown above) to get 5 as a base.

So 5 + 5 + square root of 50 is your perimeter

Multiply the perimeter times your height (8) and you get the lateral area.

Add your lateral area to the base area (triangle = 1/2 bh)

LA = 136.568...
Area of Triangle base = 12.5

Surface area = 149.068... square cm
