I believe the answer is AD=7.0
Here is how to get the Surface Area of a triangular prism.
First you must find their areas first then multiply it by 2 (because it has 2 faces) except for the base, since it has a triangular base.
A = bxh/2 A = 15 m x 30 m A = 30 m x 18 m
= (18 m x 12 m )/2 = 450 m^2 = 540 m^2
= 216 m ^2/2
= 108 m^2
Add all the faces:
SA = 2 (108 m^2) + 2 (540 m^2 ) + <span> 450 m^2
= 216 m^2 +1080 m^2 + </span><span>450 m^2
= 1,746 m^2
The answer is not found in your choices. The attached picture is also showing m (meter) as the unit used not cm.....so I guess you got the wrong choices.</span>
Answer:
The best estimate of the area of the larger figure is 
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
<em>Find the scale factor</em>
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor
Let
z----> the scale factor
x-----> the corresponding side of the larger figure
y-----> the corresponding side of the smaller figure
so

we have


substitute
-----> the scale factor
step 2
<em>Find the area of the larger figure</em>
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z----> the scale factor
x-----> the area of the larger figure
y-----> the area of the smaller figure
so

we have


substitute and solve for x
