Find the lateral surface area and the total surface area.

Heya,

This triangle is made up of 3 rectangles and 2 triangles. We don't know what the width of the slanted triangle is, so, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the width (hypotenuse).

a² + b² = c²

3² + 4² = c²

9 + 16 = c²

25 = c²

√25 = √c²

5 = c

Now, that we know what the width of the slanted triangle is, we can solve for the total surface area.

= (2(3)(4))/2 + (8)(3) + (8)(4) + (8)(5)

= 12 + 24 + 32 + 40

= 108 units is the total surface area.

The base are the two triangles to each side of the triangle. So, just subtract.

108 - 12 = 96 units is the lateral surface area.

Best of Luck!

Answer:

LA = 96

SA = 108

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral surface area is the area of the sides (not including the bases).  For a triangular prism, the bases are the triangles.

The sides consist of three rectangles.  The vertical rectangle is 3 by 8 units.  The horizontal rectangle is 4 by 8 units.

The slanted rectangle has a length of 8 units, but we don't know the width.  To find that, we use Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse of the triangles.

c² = a² + b²

c² = 3² + 4²

c = 5

So the lateral surface area is:

LA = (3)(8) + (4)(8) + (5)(8)

LA = 96

The total surface area is the lateral surface area plus the area of the bases.

SA = 96 + ½(3)(4) + ½(3)(4)

SA = 108

Find the point P on the line y=2x that is closest to the point (20,0) .what is the least distance between pans (20,0)?
Vsevolod [243]
The closest point on a line, to another point, will be a point that's on a normal of that line, or a line that is perpendicular to it, notice picture below

so, y = 2x, has a slope of 2, a perpendicular line to it, will have a slope of negative reciprocal that, or \bf 2\qquad negative\implies -2\qquad reciprocal\implies \cfrac{1}{-2}\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}

so, we know that line passes through the point 20,0, and has a slope of -1/2

if we plug that in the point-slope form, we get \bf y-0=-\cfrac{1}{2}(x-20)\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{2}x+10

now, the point that's on 2x and is also on that perpendicular line, is the closest to 20,0 from 2x, thus, is where both graphs intersect, as you can see in the graph

thus  \bf 2x=-\cfrac{1}{2}x+10  solve for "x'

------------------------------------------------------------

not sure on the 2nd part, but sounds like, what's the distance from that point to 20,0, well, if that's the case, just use the distance equation

\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&({{ \square }}\quad ,&{{ \square }})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ \square }}\quad ,&{{ \square }})
\end{array}\qquad 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
