Answer 2

Answer: 93.382 square cm

=========================================================

Work Shown:

The green triangle in the back has height 2.6 and an unknown base x. Half of this is x/2, which I'll call y. So y = x/2.

The green triangle in the back is split along the vertical dotted line to get two right triangles. The base of each right triangle is y = x/2.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find y. Use that to find x

a^2+b^2 = c^2

y^2+(2.6)^2 = (3.2)^2

y^2 + 6.76 = 10.24

y^2 = 10.24 - 6.76

y^2 = 3.48

y = sqrt(3.48) .... apply square root

y = 1.8654758 approximately

x/2 = 1.8654758

x = 2*1.8654758

x = 3.7309516 also approximate

The base of the triangle is roughly 3.7309516 meters

We can now find the area of one green triangle

area of triangle = base*height/2 = 3.7309516*2.6/2 = 4.85023708

two triangles have approximate area 2*(4.85023708) = 9.70047416

----------------------------------

So far we've only considered the triangular faces. There are 3 more faces which are the rectangular sides. These are known as the lateral sides.

One way to get the lateral surface area is to multiply the perimeter of the triangle by the depth of the prism

perimeter of triangle = (side1)+(side2)+(side3)

perimeter = 3.7309516 + 3.2 + 3.2

perimeter = 10.1309516

lateral surface area = (depth)*(perimeter)

lateral surface area = (8.26)*(10.1309516)

lateral surface area = 83.681660216

----------------------------------

The last step is to add this lateral surface area onto the area of the two triangles to get the full surface area

surface area = (triangular area) + (lateral surface area)

surface area = (9.70047416) + (83.681660216)

surface area = 93.382134376

surface area = 93.382 square cm
