Answer:

D = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a right-angled triangle, with sides: Hypotenuse D, and opposites (x2 - x1) and (y2 - y1).

Then by Pythagoras theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the opposite side.

That is,

D² = (x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Now, taking square roots of both side, we have the formula for the distance or length D.

D = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

How do you find the surface area of a regular triangular prism

Dmitry [639]

So a triangular prisim is like a triangle stacked on top of x number of identical triangles making a height, like a piece of paper made into a stack

so
basically find the area of each side and add

look at diagram/attachment
find area of triangle
1/2 b times h= area of 1 triangular face

multiply by 2 because 2 sides so 1/2 times 2 b times h=b times h

then 3 other sides
find area of each side and add
areas=(H times B)+(H times c)+(H times a)

so SA=(b times H)+(H times B)+(H times c)+(H times a)
