Answer:

Surface Area = 150


Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of this triangular prism is the sum of area of all the sides.

Surface Area = triangle 1 (with base 8 and height 3) + triangle 2 (same as triangle 1) + lateral surface 1 (with length 7 and width 5 (calculation shown below)) + lateral surface 2 (same as lateral surface 1) + bottom (side not shown with length 7 and width 8)

  • Triangle 1 area: \frac{1}{2}bh=\frac{1}{2}(8)(3)=12
  • Triangle 2 area: \frac{1}{2}bh=\frac{1}{2}(8)(3)=12
  • Lateral surface 1 (rectangle): l*w=(7)(5)=35
  • Lateral surface 2 (rectangle): l*w=(7)(5)=35
  • Bottom surface (rectangle): l*w=(7)(8)=56

Summing all these gives us the total surface area.


Total surface area = 12+12+35+35+56=150


**** <em>The triangle shown is divided into half by the perpendicular line (3cm) to the base. So the base is divided in half (4 cm and 4 cm).</em>

<em>Now, we have a right triangle with one leg 4 cm and another leg 3 cm. How do we get the hypotenuse? We use </em><em>Pythagorean Theorem</em><em>. Which is:</em>

<em>leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2\\3^2+4^2=hypotenuse^2\\25=hypotenuse^2\\hypotenuse=5</em>

<em>Hence, the side length of the hypotenuse is 5 [used above in the calculation]</em>

Ms. Liebowitz has a choice of driving or flying from Morgantown, West Virginia to Washington, D.C. for a one-day business trip.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If she travels by air, she will be able to work seven hours in D.C. work four hours once there. Her expected income from each hour of work in D.C. is $40. This means that the total amount that she earns in 7 hours would be

40 × 7 = $280

if she drives, she will only have time to work four hours once there. This means that the total amount that she earns in 4 hours would be

40 × 4 = $160

The difference in both amounts would be

280 - 160 = $120

she will chose to fly if and only if the price differential (air cost minus driving cost) is less than $120
