Answer to Problem 2CYU

The surface area of the triangular prism is 480mm2 .

The lateral area of the triangular prism is 360mm2 .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  Pre-Algebra, Student Edition, Chapter 12.5, Problem 2CYU

Formula used:

The lateral area L of a triangular prism is, L=Ph .

The surface area S of a triangular prism is, S = L + 2B.

Calculation:

The given figure is a triangular prism.

The objective is to find the lateral and surface area of the triangular prism.

The lateral area L of a triangular prism is, L=Ph .

Here, P is the perimeter of the base of the triangle and h is the height the triangular prism.

The surface area S of a triangular prism is, S = L + 2B.

Here, L is the lateral area and B is the area of the triangular base.

The base of the prism is a triangle whose sides are 8 mm, 15 mm and 17 mm. Find the lateral area of the triangular prism as follows:

The perimeter P of the base of the prism is, P=(l1+l2+l3) .

Here, l1+l2+l3 are sides of the triangle.

  P=l1+l2+l3=8+15+17=40

The lateral area of the triangular prism is,

Substitute P = 40 and h = 9 in L=Ph

Thus,

  L=Ph=409=360

Therefore, the lateral area of the triangular prism is 360mm2 .

Find the surface area of the triangular prism as follows:

The area B of the base is, B=12ba

Here, b is the base and a is the height of the triangle.

  B=12ba=121584=154=60

Substitute B = 60 and L = 360 in S = L + 2B

  S=L+2B=360+260=360+120=480

Conclusion:

Therefore, the surface area of the triangular prism is 480mm2 and the lateral area of the triangular prism is 360mm2 .
