The base of a triangular prism is an isosceles right triangle with a hypotenuse of 32−−√ centimeters. The height of the prism is 6 centimeters. Find the surface area of the triangular prism. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Question
Answer:
Isosceles triangle: two equal sides.We have the following relationship:
root (32) = root (L ^ 2 + L ^ 2)
root (32) = root (2L ^ 2)
root (32) = Lraiz (2)
root (32) / root (2) = L
The surface area is:
Area of the base and top:
A1 = (1/2) * (root (32) / root (2)) * (root (32) / root (2))
A1 = (1/2) * (32/2)
A1 = (1/2) * (16)
A1 = 8
Area of the rectangles of equal sides:
A2 = (root (32) / root (2)) * (6)
A2 = 24
Rectangle area of different side:
A3 = (root (32)) * (6)
A3 = 33.9411255
The area is:
A = 2 * A1 + 2 * A2 + A3
A = 2 * (8) + 2 * (24) + (33.9411255)
A = 97.9411255
Round to the nearest tenth:
A = 97.9 cm
Answer:
The surface area of the triangular prism is:
A = 97.9 cm
