The answers be because it says DECREASED by 5 so it would be -5
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.
Answer:
26%
Step-by-step explanation:
345. 24 - 274 = 71.24
71.24 / 274 =0.26
0.26 * 100 = 26
