Question

Find the surface area of the prism.

Answer 1

Answer:

a). B = 24 yd²

b). h = 8 yd

c). S.A. = 240 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangular base B = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base of the right triangle})(\text{height of the base triangle})$

= $\frac{1}{2}(8)(6)$

= 24 yd²

Height of the prism 'h' = distance between the triangular bases

                                     = 8 yd

Perimeter of the triangular base = leg 1 + leg 2 + hypotenuse

                                                      = 8 + 6 + 10 = 24 yd

Surface area = 2B + Ph

                     = (2×24) + (24×8)

                     = 48 + 192

                     = 240 square yds
