What is the surface area of this rectangular prism
1 answer:
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for surface area is
LA + 2B
LA indicated Lateral Area and can be found multiplying perimeter of base by the height.
7 + 7 + 14 + 14 = 42 * 7 = 294
Multiply the LA from above with the area of base times 2.
98 * 2 = 196
294 + 196 = 490, so the surface area of the rectangular prism is 490 units.

Answer:
c = 20 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The largest square will be 14 sqrt(2) ft long
To figure out the side length of the square
use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 =c^2
we are limited by the shortest side of the rectangle
28 ft
each side of the triangle is 1/2 the length of the short side of the rectangle or 14 ft
a^2 + b^2 =c^2
14^2 + 14^2 = c^2 where c is the side of the square
196 + 196 = c^2
392 = c^2
take the square root of each side
sqrt(392) = sqrt(c^2)
c = 14sqrt(2)
c = 19.799ft
to the nearest whole number
c = 20 ft
