Answer:
Lateral Surface Area = 472 m²
Total Surface Area = 486m²
Explanation:
The above prism is a Triangular prism
a) Lateral Surface Area = Perimeter of the Base × H
H = 29m
Perimeter of the Base = (7m + 7.28m + 2m)
= 16.28m
Lateral Surface Area = 16.28m × 29m
= 472.12 m²
Approximately to the nearest whole number = 472 m²
b) Total Surface Area
Triangular prism =
2 Triangles and 3 Rectangles
1st Triangle = 1/2 × base × Height
= 1/2 × 2m × 7m
= 7m²
2nd Triangle = 1/2 × base × height
= 1/2 × 2m × 7m
= 7m²
1st Rectangle = Length × Width
= 29m × 2m = 58m²
2nd Rectangle =
Length × Width
= 29m × 7.28m = 211.12m²
Length × Width
= 29m × 7m = 203m²
Total surface area = 7m² + 7m² + 58m² + 211.12m² + 203m²
= 486.12m²
Approximately to the nearest whole number = 486 m²
Option A is the correct option
