Answer:
75 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a traingle you use the following equation
b*h*.5
We know that the height of the triange is three times the base and that the area is 937.5
This means that
b*3b*.5=937.5
We can combine this and get 1.5b^2=937.5
We can then divide by 1.5 to get b by itself
b^2=625
Then take the square root for our answer and get b=25 (while be also can be -25 it doesn't make sense to have a negative answer in the context of this problem)
So we know that b=25 and that h=3b which means that the height is 75 cm
The area is 38.5 cm square
The circumference is 22 cm
To find the surface area you will need to find the area of all 5 surfaces (faces) on the prism. On a triangular prism there are 2 triangular faces and 3 rectangular faces. All 3 rectangular faces are the same and the 2 triangular faces are also the same.
To find the area of the triangular faces, you will use the formula for finding the area of a triangle:
A = 1/2bh
1/2 x 10 x 8.7
A = 43.5 in^2
To find the area of the rectangular faces, you will use the formula for finding the area of a rectangle:
A = bh
10 x 3
A = 30 in ^2
30 + 30 + 30 + 43.5 + 43.5 = 177
The minimum amount of wrapping paper needed for the gift is 177 square inches.
A triangle is scalene if all of its three sides are different (in which case, the three angles are also different). If two of its sides are equal, a triangle is called isosceles. A triangle with all three equal sides is called equilateral
