The base of a right prism is a rhombus with diagonals of 6 and 8. if the altitude of the prism is 12, what is the total surface area of this prism?

Check the picture below.

let's recall that a rhombus diagonals intersect at right-angles and that in a rhombus, slanted as it may be, the sides are all equal.

so we can find the area of one the triangles in the rhombus by simply using a base of 3 and a height of 4, and since there are four of those triangles, 4 times that much is the area of one of the rhombic faces.

as  you see in the picture, if we use the pythagorean theorem, we end up with a hypotenuse of 5, which is the length of the base sides on this prism, which also has four rectangular faces standing up vertically, each face is a 5x12 rectangle.

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
