Answer:

19cm

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle is a triangle where the length of the 3 sides are the same.

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides

for example, if the length of the side of the an equilateral triangle is 5, the perimeter is 5 x 3 = 15

let x = unknown length of side

length after increase = x + 5

(x + 5) x 3 = 72

divide both sides of the equation by 3

x + 5 = 24

subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

x = 24 - 5 = 19cm

PLEASE HELP<br><br> Find the surface area of the triangular prism.
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

139

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find all the faces that you must find the areas of. In this case, you need to find the areas of two triangles and three rectangles.

In this triangular prism, the base is one triangle. If the area of the base is 7.75, we can assume that that holds true for both bases, and multiply 7.75 by 2 in order to find the area of both triangles.

Now find the area of each of the three rectangles by multiplying their individual heights and bases by each other. You should get 38, 47.5, and 38 as the areas of the rectangles.

Now add all the individual area's together. (They're bolded for clarity).
