The 10 below is shaped like a triangle p r i s m explain how you would determine the service area of attention to find the amount of fire needed to make the tent remember to describe each face of the triangular 4 ft 5 ft 8 ft 4.75 ft

Answer 1

To find the surface area of a triangular prism, we need to calculate the areas of each of the five faces separately and then add them together.

1. The two triangular faces:
The base of the triangle is 4.75 ft and the height is 4 ft
Area = 0.5 x base x height
Area = 0.5 x 4.75 ft x 4 ft
Area = 9.5 ft^2 (one triangular face)
Area = 9.5 ft^2 x 2 = 19 ft^2 (both triangular faces)

2. The three rectangular faces:
Face 1:
Length = 4.75 ft
Height = 8 ft
Area = length x height
Area = 4.75 ft x 8 ft
Area = 38 ft^2

Face 2:
Length = 4.75 ft
Height = 8 ft
Area = length x height
Area = 4.75 ft x 8 ft
Area = 38 ft^2

Face 3:
Length = 5 ft
Height = 8 ft
Area = length x height
Area = 5 ft x 8 ft
Area = 40 ft^2

Total surface area = 19 ft^2 + 38 ft^2 + 38 ft^2 + 40 ft^2
Total surface area = 135 ft^2

Therefore, the surface area of the triangular prism tent is 135 square feet.
