Question

Quincy folds a piece of cardboard to make the three sides of a triangular prism open at top

Answer 1

Answer:

500 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the prism are 7 cm, 9 cm and 20 cm.

So the three areas we want to find are three rectangles, with the sides:

7 cm and 20 cm, 9 cm and 20 cm, 9 cm and 20 cm

The area of each rectangle is:

rectangle_1 = 7 * 20 = 140 cm2

rectangle_2 = 9 * 20 = 180 cm2

rectangle_3 = 9 * 20 = 180 cm2

Summing all these three areas, we have:

Total area = 140 + 180 + 180 = 500 cm2
