Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
Total surface area of the prism = Ph + 2B
P is the perimeter of the base (triangle)
h is the height of the prism
B is Base area
P = 5cm + 5cm + 4cm
P = 14cm
h = 15cm
B = 1/2 * base * height
B = 1/2 * 4.6 * 4
B = 4.6 * 2
B = 9.2cm²
Substitute the values into the formula;
Total surface area of the prism = Ph + 2B
Total surface area of the prism = 14(15)+2(9.2)
Total surface area of the prism = 210 + 18.4
Total surface area of the prism = 228.4cm²
Hence the total surface area of the triangular prism is 228.4cm²
Answer:
The height of the pole is 167 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
Increase in the length of the shadow = 90 m
Initial angle of elevation of the Sun = 58°
Final angle of elevation of the Sun = 36°
We have a triangle formed by the change in the length of the shadow and the rays from the two angle of elevation to the top of the pole giving an angle 22° opposite to the increase in the length of the shadow
We have by sin rule;
90/(sin (22°) = (Initial ray from the top of the pole to the end of the shadow's length)/(sin(122°)
Let the initial ray from the top of the pole to the end of the shadow's length = l₁
90/(sin (22°) = l₁/(sin(122°)
l₁ = 90/(sin (22°) ×(sin(122°) = 283.3 m
Therefore;
The height of the pole = 283.3 m × sin(36°) = 166.52 m
The height of the pole= 167 m to three significant figures.
