Given:

The bases of triangular prism are right triangles with a base of 12 inches and height of 9 inches.

The height of the prism is 11 inches.

To find:

The surface area of the triangular prism.

Solution:

Using the Pythagoras theorem, the hypotenuse of the bases of the triangular prism is:

Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Height^2

Hypotenuse^2=12^2+9^2

Hypotenuse^2=144+81

Hypotenuse^2=225

Taking square root on both sides.

Hypotenuse=15

The surface after of the triangular prism contains 3 rectangles of dimensions 12 inches by 11 inches, 9 inches by 11 inches, 15 inches by 11 inches and two triangles with base 12 inches and height 9 inches.

Area of the rectangle:

Area=Length \times Width

So, the area of three rectangles are:

A_1=12 \times 11

A_1=132

A_2=9 \times 11

A_2=99

A_3=15 \times 11

A_3=165

Area of a triangle is:

Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base \times height

So, the area of the triangles is:

A_4=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 12 \times 9

A_4=6 \times 9

A_4=54

And, the triangles have same dimensions so their areas are equal.

A_4=A_5=54

Now,

Area=A_1+A_2+A_3+A_4+A_5

Area=132+99+165+54+54

Area=504

Therefore, the surface area of the triangular prism is 504 sq. inches.

What is the rate of change (86, 124) (64, 113)
harkovskaia [24]
Hey there!

The rate of change for these two points would be m = 1/2. Subtract the two y points from each other and then the two x points from each other. Then you divide them. Or get a simplified fraction.

Hope this helped!
