Answer:
Prism B has a larger base area
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Base dimensions:
Prism A:
Lengths: 6cm, 8cm and 10cm
Prism B:
Lengths: 5cm and 5cm
Required [Missing from the question]
Which prism has a larger base area
<u>For prism A</u>
First, we check if the base dimension form a right-angled triangle using Pythagoras theorem.
The longest side is the hypotenuse; So:
The above shows that the base dimension forms a right-angled triangle.
The base area is then calculated by;
Area = 0.5 * Products of two sides (other than the hypotenuse)
<u>For Prism B</u>
So, the area is:
<em>By comparison, prism B has a larger base area because </em><em></em>
