Answer:

76.5\;\rm in^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangular prism shown in the diagram has five faces:

  • Two (identical) triangular faces at the top and bottom of this prism, and
  • Three rectangles for the faces on the side.

<h3>Triangular faces</h3>

Note that the two triangular faces at the top and bottom are identical. (In other words, these two triangles are congruent, with the same shape and area.)

From the numbers near the triangle at the top of this prism, each of the two triangles has a height of 2.5\; \rm in on a base of length 4.75\; \rm in. The area of each of these triangles would be:

\begin{aligned}&\text{Area}(\text{one triangle})\\ &= \frac{1}{2} \, (\text{Base} \times \text{Height})\\ &= \frac{1}{2} \times 4.75 \; \rm in\times 2.5\; \rm in = 5.9375\; \rm in^2\end{aligned}.

There are two such triangular faces in this prism. When combined, these two faces will contribute an area of 2 \times 5.9375\; \rm in^2 = 11.875\; \rm in^2 to the surface area of this prism.

<h3>Rectangular faces</h3>

There are three rectangular faces on the sides of this triangular prism. They have different lengths but share the same width:

  • The lengths of the three rectangular faces are 3\; \rm in, \rm 4\; \rm in, and 4.75\; \rm in. (Note that the
  • The heights of these three rectangular faces are all equal to 5.5\; \rm in.

The area of these three rectangles, combined. will be:

\begin{aligned}& \text{Area}_1 + \text{Area}_2 + \text{Area}_3 \\&= \text{Length}_1 \times \text{Width} + \text{Length}_2 \times \text{Width} + \text{Length}_3 \times \text{Width}\\ &= \left( \text{Length}_1 + \text{Length}_2 + \text{Length}_3\right)\times \text{Width} \\ &= (3 \; \rm in + 4\; \rm in + 4.75\; \rm in) \times 5.5\; \rm in \\ &= 64.625\; \rm in^2 \end{aligned}.

<h3>Total surface area of the prism</h3>

Combine the surface area of the five faces to obtain the surface area of this triangular prism:

\begin{aligned}&\text{Surface Area} \\ &= \text{Area}(\text{Triangular faces}) + \text{Area}(\text{Rectangular faces}) \\ &= 11.875\; \rm in^2 + 64.625\; \rm in^2 = 76.5\; \rm in^2\end{aligned}.

Answer:

V = 192 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cuboid is given by

V = l*w*h

V = 4m * 6m *8m

3) Given that lines a and b are parallel, and lines o and t are parallel, find the point
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

X = 3°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since O and T are parallel you can use alternating lines

7x + 5° = 5x + 11° (alt. angles, O||T)

Move the 5x and the 5°

7x - 5x = 11° - 5°

2x = 6°

Divide both sides by 2

x = 3°

This is assuming 11 is an angle

Please help me answer this
Ronch [10]

Answer:

10.77

Step-by-step explanation:

by using Pythagoras theorem we can find the distance between the points,

so...

distance between the points, which is the hypotenuse will be xy

difference between the y coordinates will be dy

difference between the x coordinates will be dx

according to pythagoras theorem,

xy^{2} = dx^{2} +  dy^{2} \\xy^{2} = (-6-(-2))^{2} + (-5-5)^{2}\\xy^{2} =(-4)^{2} +(-10)^{2} \\xy^{2} =16+100\\xy^{2} =116\\xy =\sqrt{116} \\xy=10.77
