Given:

The volume of a prism with equilateral triangular cross-section is 270cm³.

Length of the prism = 10\sqrt{3} cm

To find:

The length of the side of the equilateral triangular cross-section.

Solution:

Formulae used:

Area of an equilateral triangle is

Area=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2

Where a is the side length of equilateral triangle.

Volume of prism is

V=Bh

Where, B is base area and h is the height of the triangular prism.

Cross section of the prism is an equilateral triangular so the base area of the prism is  \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2 sq. cm.

The volume of the prism is

V=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2\times 10\sqrt{3}

270=\dfrac{10(3)}{4}a^2

270=\dfrac{30}{4}a^2

270=7.5a^2

Divide both sides by 7.5.

\dfrac{270}{7.5}=a^2

36=a^2

\pm \sqrt{36}=a

6=a

It takes only positive value because the side cannot be negative.

Therefore, the length of the side of the equilateral triangular cross-section is 6 cm.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

$110

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you have to do 15*4. We get the 4 from the admission fees and the 15 from the number of dances they attend. From this answer we can see the total of money they will be paying for admission for the 15 dances.

15*4=$60

However, our answer isn't just $50 as we are also told membership costs $50. So no we add $50 to $60, which gives us an answer of $110, which is the amount the member will pay if they attend 15 dances during the school year.
