Hello!

We are going to use the rectangular prism of the image as a guide:

First of all, the AC segment is calculated using the Pythagoras' theorem:

AC= \sqrt{ AB^{2}+ BC^{2} } =\sqrt{ 10^{2}+ 8^{2} }=12,81 m

(A) The surface area of a prism is the sum of the surface areas of each face. 

For the 2 triangles  ABC and DEF

A=2*(1/2*b*h)=2*(1/2*8m*10m)=80m

For the ABEF Rectangle

A=w*l=10,77m*10m=107,7m^{2}

For the ACDE Rectangle

A=w*l=10,77m*12,81m=137,96 m^{2}

For the BCDF Rectangle 

A=w*l=10,77m*8m=86,16 m^{2}

To finish you need to sum up the areas of each face:

SA=2A_{ABC}+ A_{ABEF}+A_{ACDE}+A_{BCDF}= \\ 80 m^{2} +107,7m^{2} +137,96m^{2} +86,16m^{2} =411,82m^{2}

(B) The volume of a prism is the product of the area of its base and the height of the prism. In this case, the base is a triangle so the formula and the calculations for the volume are as follows

V= \frac{1}{2} *w*h*l= \frac{1}{2}* 8m*10m*10,77m=430,8m^{3}

Help please Draw an obtuse angle (labeled BIG) Place a point P inside the angle. Now construct perpendiculars form the point to
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The side closest to P is the side that is on the same side of the angle bisector as P.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector is the line containing all the points equidistant from the sides of the angle. Points on one side of the angle bisector are closer to the angle side that is on that side of the angle bisector.

___

The attached diagram shows the angle bisector as a dashed line. A couple of different locations for P are shown (P1 and P2). Apparently, we're concerned here with the distance from P along the perpendicular to each side of the angle. For P2 (on the left side of the angle bisector), it may be clear that the left perpendicular is shorter than the right one. Likewise, for P1, the right perpendicular will be shorter.

Find the length of diagonal HJ. Round to the nearest hundredth.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The length of the diagonal HJ is 10.82 units

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the rule of the distance between two points

- d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}, where

 (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) are the two points

* Lets use this rule to find the length of the diagonal HJ

∵ The coordinates of point H are (-4 , 3)

∵ The coordinates of point J are (5 , -3)

∴ x_{1}=-4 and x_{2}=5

∴ y_{1}=3 and y_{2}=-3

- Lets find the length of the diagonal HJ by using the rule above

∴ HJ = \sqrt{(5-(-4))^{2}+(-3-3)^{2}}=\sqrt{(5+4)^{2}+(-6)^{2}}

∴ HJ = \sqrt{(9)^{2}+36}=\sqrt{81+36}=\sqrt{117}=10.81665

∴ HJ = 10.82

* The length of the diagonal HJ is 10.82 units

Eric runs 3 miles in 28 minutes. at the same rate how many miles would he run in 42 minutes?
Nastasia [14]
3miles/ 28 minutes times 42 minutes is equal to 4.5 miles.

Therefore, Eric run 4.5 miles in 42 minutes.

Hopefully this helps!
