1. Check picture 1. Let the one side of the triangle be a, drop one perpendicular, CD. Then triangle ADB is a right triangle, with hypothenuse a and one side equal to 1/2a. By the Pythegorean theorem, as shown in the picture, the height is 
2. if a a=25 ft, then the height is
(ft)
3. consider picture 2. Let the length of the roof be l feet.
one side of the prism (the roof) is a rectangle with dimensions a and l, so the area of one side is a*l
the lateral Area of the roof is 3a*l
the area of the equilateral surfaces is
so the total area of the roof is
4. The total area was the 2 triangular surfaces + the 3 equal lateral rectangular surfaces. Now instead of 3 lateral triangular surfaces, we have 2.
So the total area found previously will be decreased by al
5. so the area now is
6. now a=25 and l=2a=50
Area=
=3041.3 (ft squared)
