Because There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so 3 feet and 1 yard are the same thing, hence a 1:1 ratio.
It would be 13... if I did my math right.
Answer:
101.9 sq ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is missing: find it in attachment.
Here we want to find the lateral surface area of the figure, which is the sum of the areas of all faces.
We have in total 5 faces:
- 1 of them is rectangle with sizes (8.5 ft x 3.3 ft), so its area is
- 1 of them is a rectangle with sizes (3.3 ft x 5.1 ft), so its area is
- 1 of them is a rectangle with sizes (6.8 ft x 3.3 ft), so its area is
- Finally, we have 2 triangular faces (top and bottom), so their area is
where
b = 5.1 ft is the base
h = 6.8 ft is the height (because the triangle is a right triangle)
So the area of the triangle is
So the total lateral surface area of the figure is:
Well... Basically, you should prove this by SSS property(side-side-side). It's fair to say that the length of a side is equal to itself so The line that cuts through the rectangle is a side for both rectangles. Thus because of the given, all the sides of the triangles are equal to one another. This is a very important trick for geometry(I remember using it a lot).
Hope this helps!
