Answer:
3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of areas of similar figures is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions. That means the ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the area ratio. The ratio of the smaller triangle dimensions to the larger is then ...
k = √((8 cm^2)/(18 cm^2)) = √(4/9) = 2/3
Then the corresponding side of the smaller triangle is ...
... k · (4.5 cm) = (2/3)·(4.5 cm) = 3 cm
Answer:
Answers are below in bold
Step-by-step explanation:
1) A = 1/2bh Use this equation to find the area of each triangular base
A = 1/2(8)(6) Multiply
A = 1/2(48) Multiply
A = 12cm² Area of each triangular base
2) A = L x W Use this equation to find the area of the bottom rectangular face
A = 20 x 8 Multiply
A = 160 cm² Area of the bottom rectangular face
3) A = L x W Use this equation to find the area of the back rectangular face
A = 20 x 6 Multiply
A = 120 cm² Area of the back rectangular face
4) A = L x W Use this equation to find the area of the sloped rectangular face
A = 20 x 10 Multiply
A = 200 cm² Area of the sloped rectangular face
5) To find the total surface area of the triangular prism, add together all of the numbers.
A = 12 + 12 + 160 + 120 + 200 Add
A = 504 cm² Total area of the triangular prism
