Jess is building a skateboarding ramp in the shape of a triangular prism with the dimensions shown. If Jess wants to cover all f
aces of the ramp with plywood, how much plywood will he need? A triangular prism. The rectangular sides are 12 feet by 3 feet, 12 feet by 5 feet, and 12 feet by 4 feet. The 2 triangular sides have a base of 3 feet and height of 4 feet. [Not drawn to scale] 96 square feet 144 square feet 156 square feet 168 square feet
1 answer:
The image showing the dimensions is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
A = 156 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how much plywood Jesse will need to cover all the surface simply means we are to find the surface area.
The surface area of the triangular prism is given by;
A = (2 * (Area of the base)) + (Perimeter of base x height)
Now, area of the base=bh/2
b = 3 ft
h = 4 ft
area of the base = 3*4/2 = 6 ft²
perimeter of the base = L + b + h = 4 + 3 + 5 = 12 ft
height of the prism;h = 12 ft
Thus;
surface area of the triangular prism;
A = (2 * 6) + (12*12)
A = 12 + 144
A = 156 ft²

Answer:
38.46%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are no names or marking that can make the calculator look different, so the order is not important. Then we should use a combination to solve this problem.
There are 40 calculators in one shipment, 37 of them good items and 3 of them are defect items. We need to choose 19 good calculators and 1 defect calculator. The number of ways to do that will be:
*
= 37!
= 53017895700
The number of possible ways to choose 20 calculators out of 40 calculators will be:
=
=137846528820
The chance will be: 53017895700/ 137846528820 = 0.3846= 38.46%
The side length is about 17.916
Answer:
- 6.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of - 2 (3.1) is - 6.2.
Brackets mean to multiply so we have to multiply the - 2 by 3.1 which gives a result of - 6.2.
