Answer:

510 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide this figure into a number of 2D shapes which you know how to find the area of.

The two triangular sides of the prism each have areas 12*5/2=30 square meters. The area of the rectangle formed by the smaller leg has area 5*15=75 square meters. The area of the rectangle formed by the larger leg has area 12*15=180 square meters. The area of the rectangle formed by the hypotenuse has area 13*15=195 square meters. Adding all of this together, you get:

30+30+75+180+195=510 square meters. Hope this helps!

Answer:

375 cm2

Step-by-step explanation

The surface area formula for a triangular prism is 2 * (height x base / 2) + length x width1 + length x width2 + length x base, as seen in the figure below:

A triangular prism is a stack of triangles, so the usualy triangle solving rules apply when calculating the area of the bases.

What is ∛2197? Explain how you got your answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write our answer in exponential form. Ask yourself the question, "What times itself 3 times will give you 2197?" Your answer is $13^{3}$ . This will go inside of your cube root. You now have $\sqrt[3]{13^{3} }$ . Since there's a power of 3 and a cube root, those cancel each other out, and your answer is 13.
