Question

To the nearest whole number, what is the surface area or the right triangular prism

Answer 1

Answer:

502 Square Meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area is the sum of the areas of all the surfaces. There are 5 surfaces in total, so we find each surface area and find total Surface Area.

Shown Below:

Bottom Surface is a rectangle, so area is length * width = 10 * 16 = 160

Back Surface is a rectangle, so area is 6 * 16 = 96

Top (front) surface is a rectangle so area is 11.6 * 16 = 185.6

Left and right sides are 2 triangles, so are would be  0.5(base * height) for each. So,

Left triangle = 0.5 * 10 * 6 = 30

Right triangle = 30

Sum of all the surfaces = 160 + 96 + 185.6 + 30 + 30 = 501.6

Rounded to nearest whole number, that is 502

The surface area = 502 m^2
