Hope this helps
I’ll try to make a step by step demonstration! Feel free to skip to step 5 for the answer, though
1. The formula for a right triangular prism is (1/2)*base*height*length, and we know what the base (4 cm) and length (8 cm) are, but not the height
2. To find the height we must divide the side triangle into two, which then gives us two right triangles
3. Focusing on just one of the right triangles, its base will be 2 cm rather than 4 (as it has been divided by two) and its hypotenuse will be 4 cm; using Pythagorean’s theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), solve for the missing side (the height), which should end up being √12
4. Multiply! (1/2)4*√12*8 ≈ 55.425
5. Round to the nearest tenth —> 55.4
I hope this helped somewhat! Comment if clarification is needed
19.635 square inches.
Assuming that the pots are arranged in a straight line, each pot would have a diameter of 5, because 5 • 3 = 15, and 15 is the length of the box. The radius of the base of one pot is therefore 2.5.
A = pi • r^2 = pi • 2.5^2 = 19.635 (approximation)
