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}.

icang [17]

Answer:

2/5 of a mile

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest approach is to realise that one hour is 3 times longer than  

20 minutes. The longer the time, the more they will pave.


2/5  of a mile, in 20 minutes, how much in 60 minutes?(#)

They will pave 3 times more.

2/15 x 3/1 = 6/15 of a mile

6/15 = 2/5 of a mile

Rina wants to ride the bumper cars 1 time and the Ferris wheel 5 times. It costs 1 ticket to ride the bumper cars and 1 ticket t
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Rina will need 6 tickets.

Explanation:

Rina needs only 1 ticket to ride the ferris wheel once, and 1 ticket to ride the bumper cars once. If she wants to ride the ferris wheel 5 times, then she'll need 5 tickets since 1 x 5 = 5. If she wants to ride the bumper cars only once, she'll only need 1 ticket since 1 x 1 = 1.

Add the answers together, and you get 6 tickets since 5 + 1 = 6.

Hope this helps! :)

Reil [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given    GALLONS     and   MILES

   you want to find MILES / GALLON

     so just put those numebrs in

         MILES / GALLON =  126 miles / 6 gallons = 21 m/g  (or 21 MPG)

Choose the two expressions that are equivalent to 6.5 ÷ 1.3.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

A & C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the two expressions that are equivalent to 6.5 ÷ 1.3, you need to solve all of them until you get the two expressions that have a quotient of 5.

Let's begin solving!

65 ÷ 13  = 5

So now we know that A is one of our answers

65 ÷ 130 = 0.5

Not one of our answers because the quotient is not 5

650 ÷ 130 = 5

This is our other answer! We don't need to solve D because we only needed to find two expressions which are A and C.

Hope this helps you :)
