Answer:
36x+42 if you need it simplified
x=-7/6 if you set the equation equal to zero
Surface area will consist of:
2 triangles, 3 rectangles:
Solving for triangles:
A=1/2bh
A=1/2(120)
A=60
60*2 gives us the surface area of both triangular sides.
Solve for rectangles:
(17*20)+(8*20)+(15*20)
(340)+(160)+(300)
(800)
800+120=920
The surface area of the prism is 920 square feet
This is Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2 , a = 33 and c = 37 so b^2 + 1089 = 1369 , b^2 = 280 , b = 16.73m
