The length of other base of trapezoid is 10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of trapezoid is:

A=\frac{h}{2}(b_1+b_2)

We know that

A = 42 square miles

b_1 = 4 miles

h = 6 miles

Putting the values

42=\frac{6}{2}(4+b_2)\\42=3(4+b_2)\\42=12+3b_2\\Subtracting\ 12\ from\ both\ sides\\42-12=12+3b_2-12\\3b_2=30\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\frac{3b_2}{3}=\frac{30}{3}\\b_2=10\ miles

The length of other base of trapezoid is 10 miles

Zarrin [17]

The total surface area of the triangular prism that has a height of h and the side length of a is given below.

\rm a(\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} \ a + 3h)

<h3>What is a triangular prism?</h3>

A triangular prism is a closed solid that has two parallel triangular bases connected by a rectangle surface.

A box is in the shape of an equilateral triangular prism.

If the box is to be covered with paper on its lateral sides.

Let a be the side length of the equilateral triangle and h be the height of the prism.

Then the surface area of the triangular prism will be

Surface area = 2 × area of triangle + 3 × area of the rectangle

The area of the triangle will be

\rm Area\ of\ triangle = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}a^2}{4}

The area of the rectangle will be

\rm Area \ of \ rectangle = a \ h

Then the total surface area will be

\rm Surface\ area =  2 \times \dfrac{\sqrt3 a^2 }{4} + 3 ah\\\\\\Surface\ area =  a(\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} \ a + 3h)
