Option A: >
Solution:
Given a triangle GHJ.
The line GH is perpendicular to line HJ.
This means the triangle is a right angled triangle.
In ΔGHJ, GH is the base of the triangle and
HJ is a height of the triangle.
Then the third side must be the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
We know that by the Pythagoras theorem,
This clearly shows that the hypotenuse is greater than the height.
⇒ GJ > HJ
Option A: > is the correct answer.
If line GH is perpendicular to line HJ, then GJ is > HJ.
The surface area of the tent is 21.4 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the surface area of a prism you must calculate:
1. The perimeter of the base
2. The area of the base
3. The height of the prism
We have a triangular prism:
Its base is an equilateral triangle of side length 2 m and height 1.7 m
The height of the prism is 3 m
∵ The surface are of the prism is:
S.A = perimeter of the base × height + 2 × area of the base
∵ The perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 3 × length of a side
∵ The length of the side = 2 m
∴ The perimeter of the base = 3 × 2 = 6 m
∵ The area of the triangle = × base × height
∵ The length of the base of the triangle = 2 m
∵ The height of the triangle = 1.7 m
∴ The area of the base = × 2 × 1.7 = 1.7 m²
∵ S.A = perimeter of the base × height + 2 × area of the base
∵ The perimeter of the base = 6 m
∵ The area of the base = 1.7 m²
∵ The height of the prism = 3 m
∴ S.A = 6 × 3 + 2 × 1.7
∴ S.A = 18 + 3.4
∴ S.A = 21.4 m²
The surface area of the tent is 21.4 m²
