The equation for the surface of the triangular bases of the rocket net can be calculated by considering the two triangular shapes at the bottom of the rocket. The formula for the surface area of a triangular base is equal to 1/2 base x height.
For the triangle with a base of 5.5 feet and a height of 5 feet (the middle part of the rocket), the surface area can be calculated as:
Surface area = 1/2 x 5.5 x 5 = 13.75 square feet
For the triangle with a base of 6.5 feet and a height of 6.5 feet (the outside parts of the rocket), the surface area can be calculated as:
Surface area = 1/2 x 6.5 x 6.5 = 21.125 square feet
Therefore, the total surface area of both triangular bases of the rocket net is:
Total surface area = 13.75 + 21.125 = 34.875 square feet
This equation represents the combined surface area of the two triangular bases of the rocket net.
Write an equation for the surface of both triangular bases of the net.
Shaped like a rocket. Rectangles are broken into 3 parts. Top part is 5ft wide and 6.5 high. Box in the middle shows 5.5 feet high and 5ft wide. The triangle's on the sides are angled down labeled 3.5 under the wing and 6.5 on the outside of wing
