Question

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIND THE VOLUME AND SURFACE AREA OF THIS FIGURE.

and round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Volume = 1659.84

Surface area = 1205.36

Explanation:

Volume for triangular prism = 1/2 * b * l * h

we are given the length and the height but not the base.

since it is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2

13.3^2 + b^2 = 20.5^2

176.89 + b^2 = 420.25

b^2 = 243.36

b =
`√(243.36)` = 15.6

1/2 (15.6)(13.3)(16) = 1659.84

Front: 15.6 x 13.3 = 207.48

Back: 15.6 x 13.3 = 207.48

Left: 15.6 x 16 = 249.6

Right: 13.3 x 16 = 212.8

Bottom: 20.5 x 16 = 328

207.48 + 207.48 + 249.6 + 212.8 + 328 = 1205.36
