Question

A triangular prism has a surface area of 486 in.2 . If it were dilated using a scale factor of 13 , what would the new surface area be?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the new surface area after dilation, we can multiply the original surface area by the square of the scale factor:

New surface area = Original surface area * (Scale factor)^2 = 486 in^2 * (13)^2 = 486 in^2 * 169

Calculating this, we get:

New surface area = 82134 in^2
