In order to find the area of the triangular prism, we need to find the area of each of the figures that make it up. It might help if you draw the triangles and rectangles that make up the prism individually.

Let's start with the two triangles at either end of the prism.

A = 1/2bh   Area of a triangle
A = 1/2(6)(8)   Substitute
A = 24   Multiply / Divide

We now know that the area of the triangle at the end of the prism is 24 yd². However, since there are two of these triangles, we'll need to multiply that by 2. So, in total, the area of the two triangles is 48 yd².

There are three more rectangles that we need to find the area for: the base of the prism, the vertical edge of the prism, and the slanted edge of the prism. 

A = lw   Area of a rectangle
A = (9)(10)   Area of the slanted edge
A = 90 yd²   Multiply

A = (9)(6)   Area of the base
A = 54 yd²   Multiply

A = (8)(9)   Area of the vertical edge
A = 72 yd²

We now have the area for both triangles and each rectangle. Now, all we have to do is add these together to get the total surface area!

72 + 54 + 90 + 48 = 264 yd²
Surface Area = 264 yd²

The answer is 264 yd², or answer choice C.

How do I foil (4x-4)(x-4)
Natalka [10]

Answer:

(4x-4) (x-4)

= 4( x-1) ( x-4)

= 4 ( x^2 - 4x -x +4)

= 4x^2 - 16x -4x +16

= 4x^2 -20x +16

Answer:

3.3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used to solve for leg a of a right triangle is a= sqrt(c^2-b^2). This is replaced by sqrt(6^2-5^2) for your equation. If you work this out, it equals about 3.32, and you have to round it to the nearest tenth, so the answer is 3.3 m.

Someone please explain this it’s confusing me.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

x = 4 radical 3 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a 30-60-90 triangle

the side across from the angle 30 is L

the side across from the angle 60 is L√3

the side across from the angle 90 is 2L

we are given the side across from 60⁰ so we know that:

2 = L√3

we want to solve for L, so we must divide both sides by √3 (radical three)

2/√3 = L√3/√3

you would get 2/ √3 = L, because the radical three cancels out on the L side.

but you can't have a radical in the denominator, so you have to multiply 2/√3 by radical 3

2 times √3 and √3 times √3

you get 2√3/√9

radical nine can simplify

2radical3/3 or 2√3/3

we found L, but that would equal the thirty degree angle, not the 90, 90 = 2L

multiply the number infront of the radical by two and get

4√3/3

x=4 radical 3 divided by 3
