How is the process of finding the surface area of a rectangular prism the same as finding the surface area of a triangular prism

harina [27]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of a prism is given by the formula

$SA=2B+PH$

where

B is the area of the base

P is the perimeter of the base

H is the height of the prism

For both prism the formula is the same

How is it different?

Rectangular prism

The area of the base is given by the formula

$A=LW$ -----> is the area of rectangle

where

L is the length and W is the width of rectangle

The perimeter of the base is given by

$P=2(L+W)$ ---> is the perimeter of rectangle

The height H is the same in both cases

Triangular prism

The area of the base is given by the formula

$A=\frac{1}{2} (b)(h)$ -----> is the area of the triangular base

where

b is the base of triangle and h is the height of triangle

The perimeter of the base is given by

$P=(a+b+c)$ ---> is the perimeter of triangle

where

a, b and c are the length sides of triangle

The height H is the same in both cases

Jane is having difficulty deciding whether to put her savings in the Mystic Bank or in the Four Rivers Bank. Mystic offers a 12%

Ad libitum [116K]

The answer to this question would be <span>B. Mystic
</span><span>

Since the rate should be constant, option C and D wouldn't be true.</span>
If the Four Rivers bank gives 12% per year and Mystic Bank gives 14% per year, it will be 3% per quarter year for Four Rivers Bank and 7% semiannually for Mystic Bank.
The total rate would become:
Four rivers 103%^4= 1.125
Mystic : 107%^2= 1.145

Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin’s place. Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle’s place. How far does Michelle live from Laura

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

17 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

North as the positive y-axis

East as the positive x-axis.

We know that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place.

Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place.

So, if we define the origin, (0, 0) as Laura's place.

From:

"that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place."

We have that the location of Kevin's house is 15 miles west from Laura's place, then Kevin's house is at:

(0, 0) + (-15mi, 0) = (-15mi, 0)

From Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place, we know that Michelle's live 8 miles north of Kevin's place.

Then the location of Michele's house is the location of Kevin's plus (0, 8mi).

Michelle's house is located at:

(-15mi, 0) + (0, 8mi) =(-15mi, 8mi)

Now we want to find the distance between Michelle's house and Laura's house.

Michelle's house is at (-15mi, 8mi)

Laura's house is at (0mi, 0mi)

Remember that the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by:

$D = \sqrt{(a - c)^2 + (b - d)^2}$

Then the distance between (-15mi, 8mi) and (0mi, 0mi) is:

$D = \sqrt{(-15mi - 0mi)^2 + (8mi - 0mi)^2} = 17mi$

The correct option is the first one, 17 miles.
