Question

A triangular prism has a height of 9 meters and a triangular base with the following dimensions. What is the value of P?

Answer 1

We know that
P is the perimeter of the base of the triangular prism
in this problem the base is a triangle
so
perimeter of the triangle=length side 1+ length side 2+length side 3+6
length side 1=16 m
length side 2=10 m
length side 3=10 m

perimeter of the triangle=16+10+10+6-----> 42 m

the answer is
42  m

Answer 2

Answer:

A) 36 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a triangular base with the following measures:

Length 1 = 16 m, length 2 = 10 m,  and length 3 = 10 m

P represents the perimeter of the base.

Perimeter is nothing but the sum of all the boundaries lengths.

So, P = length 1 + length 2 + length 3

= 16 + 10 + 10             [We need not add 6 because it is inside the triangle]

P = 36 m

Therefore, the value of P is 36 m
