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}.

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

Louis built a swimming pool. The depth of the swimming pool is 5 feet. What is the volume of water that it will take to fill the
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

For a rectangular prism-like swimming pool: V = w\cdot l \cdot h. V = 360\,ft^{3} when h = 5\,ft, l = 12\,ft and w = 6\,ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that swimming pool has a rectangular base and depth is the same  at any point at the bottom. In addition, let w and l be the width and length of the swimming pool. Then, the volume needed to fill the swimming pool is:

V = w\cdot l \cdot h, where h is the depth of the pool.

Let be h = 5\,ft, l = 12\,ft and w = 6\,ft. The volume of the swimming pool is:

V = (6\,ft)\cdot (12\,ft)\cdot (5\,ft)

V = 360\,ft^{3}
