Answer:
The surface area of the prism is 276 in.²
If you are also looking for the volume of the prism, it is 280.
Step-by-step explanation:
It's hard to find the surface area and the volume of the prism if you're just looking at the net of the 3D shape. There are some unnecessary measurements that will definitely throw you off. I drew a sample prism so it's easier to solve. Check the linked image.
The formula in finding the surface area of a prism is SA = 2(wl + hl + hw), where w is for width, l is for length, and h is for height. The point of all of these calculations is to find the area of 3 different faces of the prism and then you add up all of the areas and multiply the sum by 2 to give you the surface area. Looks a lot but it's worth getting the answer right.
The formula in finding the volume of the prism is V = w * h * l, where w is for width, h is for height, and l is for length. Simple multiplication of 3 different sides and you'll get the volume. I hope this helps and if I am wrong please let me know! :D
To write an equation for this line, you first need to understand how to derive it.
Let's utilize slope-intercept form, as it's the easiest to understand compared to any other form for line functions:
y = mx + b
m: The slope of the line
b: The y-intercept (The point where the line is at the y-axis)
Now that we've defined our variables, how do we go about making the actual equation? Let's start off with the slope, m.
The slope is a measure of how high or low the line is. The number is a ratio between the rise and run of a slope. In other words, it is essentially
Let's look back at the graph. In the time interval from 1 to 2 seconds, we see that the line rises by 22 feet. Because the time interval is only 1 second, the run is 1 second.
Therefore:
m =
m =
m = 22
We now have the first variable of the equation.
y = 22x + b
What about b? As we established earlier, b is the value of coordinate y at the y-intercept. Essentially, to find b we need to know what the value of y is when the coordinate x is 0.
As you can see from the graph you made, the value of y when x is 0 is also 0. This makes sense, too. How can the cheetah travel distance at 0 seconds when it obviously hasn't started moving? We now know b = 0. Now, we have gotten all of the variables we need to make a full equation:
y = 22x + 0
y = 22x
If you'd like me to explain how I did anything, just ask!
