Given:
A prism with height 5 cm and equilateral triangular base with side 2 cm.
To find:
The total surface area of the prism.
Solution:
Area of an equilateral triangle is:
Where, a is the side length.
Putting , we get
The base and top of the prism are congruent so their area must be equal.
The lateral surface area of the prism is:
Where, P is the perimeter of the base and h is the height of the prism.
The lateral surface area of the prism is:
Now, the total surface area is the sum of areas of bases and lateral surface area.
Therefore, the total surface area is 33.46 cm².
Hi there! :)
4x + 5x + 12 = 6(x - 2)
Combine like terms and distribute the coefficient outside of the parenthesis:
9x + 12 = 6(x) + 6(-2)
9x + 12 = 6x - 12
Subtract 6x from both sides:
9x - 6x + 12 = 6x - 6x - 12
3x + 12 = -12
Subtract 12 from both sides:
3x + 12 - 12 = -12 - 12
3x = -24
Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3 = -24/3
x = -8.
