Find the lateral area, and surface area of the figure. Round your answers to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.

Explanation:

For any prism, the base faces are parallel to one another, and they are congruent. In this case, the two triangles are the base faces.

The lateral sides are the three rectangles that form the "walls" so to speak. We can think of the base faces as the floor and ceiling.

The right-most wall is a 4 by 6 rectangle that has area 4*6 = 24 square km

The front-most wall is 8 by 4 leading to 8*4 = 32 square km area.

The back wall is a rectangle that is 10 by 4 to get an area of 10*4 = 40 square km.

The total lateral area is 24+32+40 = 96 square km

A shortcut is to compute the perimeter of the base to get 8+6+10 = 24 km, which multiplies with the height 4 to get 24*4 = 96 square km.

Now let's compute the area of one triangle

Each triangle has a base of 8 and a height of 6. So the area is

area = 0.5*base*height = 0.5*8*6 = 24 square km

There are two of these identical triangles, so we have a total base area of 24*2 = 48 square km

Add this onto the lateral area and we get the total surface area to be 48+96 = 144 square km

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point
