Given:
A right prism has height 7½ and triangular bases with sides of length 5, 12, and 13.
To find:
The total surface area of the prism.
Solution:
We have,
Height of prism = 7½ = 7.5
Sides of triangular base are 5, 12, 13. These sides of Pythagorean triplets because



So, the base of the prism is a right triangle.
Area of a triangle is



The area of the base is equal to the area of the top, i.e.,
sq units.
Perimeter of the base is


The curved surface area of the prism is



Now, the total area of the prism is



Therefore, the total surface area of the triangular prism is 285 square units.
The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:

The hypotenuse is the side with the greatest length.

Answer: correct options are A and E.
B: 12.65 feet
if vanessa is already 7.25 feet down, and emily is 5.4 feet further, you would do 7.25+5.4 which is 12.65
Answer:
units
Step-by-step explanation:
The Line 1 has equation x + y = 5 ....... (1) , and
Line 2 has equation x + y = 3 .......... (2)
Now, we have to find the perpendicular distance between line 1 and line 2.
We can say that (3,0) is a point on line 2 as it satisfies the equation (2).
Now, the perpendicular distance from point (3,0) to the line 1 will be given by the formula
units (Answer)
We know that the perpendicular distance from any external point (
) to a given straight line ax + by + c = 0 is given by the formula
.
